Illinois Compiled Statutes

Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

        (1) land or water resources have been adversely
    
affected by past coal mining practices; and

Such statement shall constitute a lien upon the land. The lien shall not exceed the amount determined by appraisal to be the increase in the market value of the land as a result of the restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of the adverse effects of past coal mining practices.
    (b) No lien shall be filed under this Section against the property of any person who neither consented to nor participated in nor exercised control over the mining operation which necessitated the reclamation performed hereunder.
    (c) The landowner may proceed as provided by law to petition within 60 days of the filing of the lien, to determine the increase in the market value of the land as a result of the restoration, reclamation, abatement, control, or prevention of the adverse effects of past coal mining practices. The amount reported to be the increase in value of the premises shall constitute the amount of the lien and shall be recorded with the statement provided in this Section. Any party aggrieved by the decision may seek appropriate judicial relief at the Circuit Court.
    (d) The lien provided in this Section shall be entered in the county office in which the land lies and which has responsibility under local law for the recording of judgments against land. Such statement shall constitute a lien upon the said land as of the date of the expenditure of the moneys and shall have priority as a lien second only to the lien of real estate taxes imposed upon said land or such lesser priority as may be permitted or required by the Federal Act or regulations thereunder. The statement shall state the priority claimed for such lien.
    To the extent that it is consistent with the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, Public Law 95-87, as amended, the Department shall provide by rule for the accumulation of interest on the amount secured by the lien.

Except for those non-coal reclamation projects relating to the protection of the public health or safety which shall be accorded a high priority, non-coal reclamation expenditures shall be made only after all reclamation with respect to abandoned coal lands or coal development impacts has been accomplished.
    (c) In those instances where coal mine waste piles are being reworked for conservation purposes, the Department may make additional incremental expenditures to dispose of the wastes from such operations by filling voids and sealing tunnels if the disposal of these wastes is in accordance with the purposes of this Section.

        (1) the surface coal mining operation occurred during
    
the period beginning on August 4, 1977, and ending on June 1, 1982, and any funds for reclamation or abatement which are available under a bond or other form of financial guarantee, or from any other source, are not sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or abatement at the site; or

the period beginning on August 4, 1977, and ending on November 5, 1990, and the surety of the mining operator became insolvent during that period, and as of November 5, 1990, funds immediately available from proceedings relating to the insolvency, or from any financial guarantee or other source, are not sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or abatement at the site.
    (b) In determining which sites to reclaim under this Section, the Department shall follow the priorities stated in parts (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of Section 2.03. The Department shall ensure that the reclamation priority of sites reclaimed under this paragraph is the same or more urgent than the reclamation priority for eligible lands and waters that were abandoned or left in an inadequate reclamation status before August 3, 1977.
