CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVOCATION OF PERMITS; RECLAMATION WORK (§ 45.1-197.12)

If a permit which has been issued to a member is revoked pursuant to §
45.1-186.1, then the payments which the member has made to the Fund, with
respect to the permit so revoked, shall be forfeited to the Fund. The Director
shall use the payments so forfeited or as much thereof as shall be necessary,
for the reclamation of the mining operation to which the permit had applied. In
the event that the cost of reclamation exceeds the amount of the forfeited
payments, the Director shall also use the proceeds from the member’s bond
or other security also forfeited in conjunction with the revocation of the
permit, in accordance with § 45.1-186.1, except that if all members’
bonds and other securities have been released pursuant to § 45.1-197.10 then
the Director shall draw upon the Fund for the entire cost of reclamation.
