Sec. 3.03.
Land Use.
Affected land shall be restored to a condition capable
of supporting the uses which it was capable of supporting prior to any mining,
or higher or better uses of which there is reasonable likelihood, so long
as such use or uses do not present any actual or probable hazard to public
health or safety or pose an actual or probable threat of water diminution
or pollution. The permit applicant's declared proposed land use following
reclamation shall not (1) be impractical or unreasonable, (2) be inconsistent
with applicable land use policies and plans, (3) involve unreasonable delay
in implementation, or (4) violate Federal, State, or local law.
