Eligible coal lands and water. {{ 30 CFR 874.12 }} Coal lands and water are eligible for reclamation activities if- (a) They were mined for coal or affected by coal mining processes; (b) They were mined prior to August 3, 1977, and left or abandoned in either an unreclaimed or inadequately reclaimed condition; and ( c) There is no continuing responsibility for reclamation by the operator, permittee, or agent of the permittee under statutes of the Commonwealth or Federal government, or as a result of bond forfeiture. Bond forfeiture will render lands or water ineligible only if the amount forfeited is sufficient to pay the total cost of the necessary reclamation. In cases where the forfeited bond is insufficient to pay the total cost of reclamation, additional moneys from the Fund may be sought under 30 CFR 886. 4 VAC 25-130-874.13. Reclamation objectives and priorities. {{ 30 CFR 874.13 }} Reclamation projects shall reflect the priorities set out in section 403 of the Federal Act (30 USC  1233) and should be accomplished in accordance with the OSM's "Final Guidelines for Reclamation Programs and Projects" (45 CFR 14810-14819, March 6, 1980).

Entry for emergency reclamation. {{ 30 CFR 877.14 }} (a) The Director may enter into agreements with the Secretary of the Interior for the emergency restoration, reclamation, abatement, control or prevention of the adverse effects of past coal mining practices. The Director, his authorized agents, or contractors shall have the right to enter upon any land where an emergency exists and on any other land to have access to the land where the emergency exists to restore, reclaim, abate, control, or prevent the adverse effects of past coal mining practices and to do all things necessary to protect the public health, safety, or general welfare.

The appraisal shall state the fair market value of the land as adversely affected by past mining. (b) When practical, acquisition shall be by purchase from a willing seller. The amount paid for land or interests in land acquired shall reflect the fair market value of the land or interests in land as adversely affected by past mining.

Permanent Program Inspection and Enforcement Procedures Part 882 Reclamation on Private Land Sec. 4 VAC 25-130-882.12. Appraisals. 4 VAC 25-130-882.13. Liens. 4 VAC 25-130-882.14. Satisfaction of liens. 4 VAC 25-130-882.12. Appraisals. {{ 30 CFR 882.12 }} (a) A notarized appraisal of private land to be reclaimed which may be subject to a lien under 4 VAC 25- 130-882.13 shall be obtained from an independent appraiser. The appraisal shall state- (1) The estimated fair market value of the property in its unreclaimed condition; and (2) The estimated fair market value of the property as reclaimed. (b) This appraisal shall be made prior to start of reclamation activities. The division shall furnish to the appraiser information of sufficient detail in the form of plans, factual data, specifications, etc., to make such appraisals. When reclamation requires more than six months to complete, an updated appraisal under Paragraph (a)(2) of this section shall be made to determine if the increase in value as originally appraised has actually occurred. Such updated appraisal shall not include any increase in value of the land as unreclaimed. If the updated appraised value results in lower increase in value, such increase shall be used as a basis for the lien. However, an increase in value resulting from the updated appraisal shall not be considered in determining a lien. The Commonwealth shall provide appraisal standards for projects consistent with generally acceptable appraisal practice. 4 VAC 25-130-882.13. Liens. {{ 30 CFR 882.13 }} (a) The Director has the discretionary authority to place or waive a lien against land reclaimed if the reclamation results in a significant increase in the fair market value; except that- (1) A lien shall not be placed against the property of a surface owner who acquired title prior to May 2, 1977, and who did not consent to, participate in, or exercise control over the mining operation which necessitated the reclamation work. (2) The basis for making a determination of what constitutes a significant increase in market value or what factual situation constitutes a waiver of lien will be made by the Director pursuant to the Congressional intent expressed in Section 408 of the Federal Act and consistent with the laws of the Commonwealth governing liens. (3) A lien may be waived if findings made prior to construction indicate that the reclamation work to be performed on private land shall primarily benefit the health, safety, or environmental values of the greater community or area in which the land is located; or if the reclamation is necessitated by an unforeseen occurrence, and the work performed to restore that land will not result in a significant increase in the market value of the land as it existed immediately before the unforeseen occurrence; and (4) The Director may waive the lien if the cost of filing it, including indirect costs to the Commonwealth, exceeds the increase in fair market value as a result of reclamation activities. (b) If a lien is to filed, the Director shall, within six months after the completion of the reclamation work, file a statement in the office having responsibility under applicable law for recording judgments and placing liens against land. Such statement shall consist of notarized copies of the appraisals obtained under 4 VAC 25-130-882.12 and may include an account of moneys expended for the reclamation work. The amount reported to be the increase in value of the property shall constitute the lien to be recorded in compliance with laws of the Commonwealth; Provided, however, That prior to the time of actual filing of the proposed lien, the landowner shall be notified of the amount of the proposed lien and shall be allowed a reasonable time to prepay that amount instead of allowing the lien to be filed against the property involved. ( c) Within 60 days after the lien is filed the landowner may petition under local law to determine the increase in market value of the land as a result of reclamation work. Any aggrieved party may appeal in the manner provided by section 45.1-268 of the Code of Virginia. 4 VAC 25-130-882.14. Satisfaction of liens. {{ 30 CFR 882.14 }} (a) A lien placed on private property shall be satisfied, to the extent of the value of the consideration received, at the time of transfer of ownership. Any unsatisfied portion shall remain as a lien on the property. (b) The Director, when a lien is filed on private property, shall maintain or renew it from time to time as may be required under laws of the Commonwealth or local law. ( c) Moneys derived from the satisfaction of liens established under this Part shall be deposited in the Fund.
