HELPFUL INFORMATION
Reauthorization of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act
Funding for future abandoned mine land work in Oklahoma is dependent on the reclamation fee paid by coal operators on every ton of coal that is mined. The authority to collect this fee expired in September 2021, hence the importance and time-sensitivity of passing legislation now to ensure ongoing funding for this vital work. Congressman Markwayne Mullin, Oklahoma’s 2nd Congressional District, has co-sponsored H.R. 1734 in support of reauthorization.
The mission of Oklahoma’s Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program is to protect lives, repair scarred land and improve the environment. Twenty-six (26) known deaths have occurred in the state on abandoned coal mines. Oklahoma has over $120 million in reclamation that needs to be addressed and receives only $3 million per year. If the Act is not reauthorized, Oklahoma will have millions of dollars of hazardous abandoned coal mine sites left unreclaimed.
