(1) A substantial increase in the disturbance of a surface area or in the maximum depth of mining;
(2) A substantial extension of the termination date of the mining operation as set out in the approved reclamation plan;
(3) Changes that would substantially affect the approved end use of the site as established in the reclamation plan;
(4) The consistency of any proposed change to the operation with the previously adopted environmental determinations.
(5) Any other changes that the lead agency deems substantial deviations as defined in this subsection.
(e) An amended reclamation plan shall be filed if the lead agency determines, after an inspection, that the surface mining operation can no longer be reclaimed in accordance with its approved reclamation plan. Such amended plan shall incorporate current reclamation standards as described in Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 2710) and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations commencing with Section 3700.
(f) In the event that a proposed change is determined not to be a substantial deviation from an approved reclamation plan, then current reclamation standards need only apply to the amended portion of the plan. An amendment to the originally approved reclamation plan that includes an expanded operating area shall be approved by the lead agency prior to implementation of the activities in the expansion area.
(g) Should an expansion of an operation into an area not covered by an approved reclamation plan be determined by the lead agency to be a substantial deviation, an amended reclamation plan shall be prepared that ensures adequate reclamation for the surface mining operation. The amended reclamation plan shall incorporate current reclamation standards for the entire area governed by the plan that is impacted by the deviation. If reclamation has been substantially initiated at the time that a lead agency determines that an amended reclamation plan is required, the operator may complete reclamation of those areas according to the previously approved reclamation plan, except for those areas that are or will be affected by the proposed expanded mining activities which shall be subject to the requirements of the amended reclamation plan.
(h) Where a surface mining operation has in effect an approved reclamation plan and approved financial assurance covering a surface mining operation, and the mining operator proposes to utilize a new surface area, not included within the approved reclamation plan, for purposes of creating a new and separate pit, quarry, or other excavation, the operator may, at the option of the operator do one of two things:
(1) Amend the existing reclamation plan to encompass the new area designated for use as a pit, quarry, or excavation, together with any other changes necessary to make the reclamation plan, as amended, conform to the Act and these regulations. If such an amended plan is proposed, the amended plan must conform to the current reclamation standards required by the Act and the regulations, as to the new area(s) designated as a quarry, pit or excavation, and any processing facilities, roads, sumps, drainage systems or storage or processing areas, which that new area will utilize within the previously approved reclamation plan area or within the new area. Concurrently with the approval of the amended reclamation plan to encompass the new area operations, unless such a provision already is in the existing reclamation plan, the lead agency may require an amendment to the existing reclamation plan to provide for the immediate commencement of the reclamation of any mined lands which no longer are required for mining operations.
(2) Obtain approval of a new reclamation plan covering the new area and any facilities, roads, sumps, drainage systems, or storage or processing areas, utilized in connection with operations in the new area. Any areas encompassed within such plan shall conform to the reclamation standards of the Act and these regulations that are in effect at the time the reclamation plan is approved.
(i) The following exemptions to this section shall apply:
(1) Where a single surface mining operation has separate facilities located within different lead agency jurisdictions, and where these facilities are separated by a distinct and significant physical boundary such as a major highway, stream channel, or the like, the operator may obtain separate reclamation plans and financial assurances for the facilities from the lead agencies in which those facilities are located.
(2) Those surface mining operations that have more than one reclamation plan approved on or before October 1, 2002 shall not be subject to the requirements for a single reclamation plan as described in subsection (d) of this section unless new mining operations or substantial deviations to the operation are proposed after that date that require one of the plans to be amended.

s 3503. Surface Mining and Reclamation Practice.
The following are minimum acceptable practices to be followed in surface mining operations:
(a) Soil Erosion Control.
(1) The removal of vegetation and overburden, if any, in advance of surface mining shall be kept to the minimum.
(2) Stockpiles of overburden and minerals shall be managed to minimize water and wind erosion.
(3) Erosion control facilities such as retarding basins, ditches, streambank stabilization, and diking shall be constructed and maintained where necessary to control erosion.
(b) Water Quality and Watershed Control.
(1) Settling ponds or basins shall be constructed to prevent potential sedimentation of streams at operations where they will provide a significant benefit to water quality.
(2) Operations shall be conducted to substantially prevent siltation of ground-water recharge areas.
(c) Protection of Fish and Wildlife Habitat. All reasonable measures shall be taken to protect the habitat of fish and wildlife.
(d) Disposal of Mine Waste Rock and Overburden. Permanent piles or dumps of mine waste rock and overburden shall be stable and shall not restrict the natural drainage without suitable provisions for diversion.
(e) Erosion and Drainage. Grading and revegetation shall be designed to minimize erosion and to convey surface runoff to natural drainage courses or interior basins designed for water storage. Basins that will store water during periods of surface runoff shall be designed to prevent erosion of spillways when these basins have outlet to lower ground.
(f) Resoiling. When the reclamation plan calls for resoiling, coarse hard mine waste shall be leveled and covered with a layer of finer material or weathered waste. A soil layer shall then be placed on this prepared surface. Surface mines that did not salvage soil during their initial operations shall attempt, where feasible, to upgrade remaining materials. The use of soil conditioners, mulches, or imported topsoil shall be considered where revegetation is part of the reclamation plan and where such measures appear necessary. It is not justified, however, to denude adjacent areas of their soil, for any such denuded areas must in turn be reclaimed.
(g) Revegetation. When the reclamation plan calls for revegetation the available research addressing revegetation methods and the selection of species having good survival characteristics, for the topography, resoiling characteristics, and climate of the mined areas shall be used.

s 3504. Administration by Lead Agency.
(a) Record Keeping. The lead agency shall establish and maintain in-house measures and procedures to ensure organized record-keeping and monitoring of surface mining reclamation under its jurisdiction. The lead agency shall forward a copy of each permit and approved reclamation plan and financial assurance instrument to the director of the Department of Conservation.
(b) Financial Assurances. The lead agency shall ensure that the objectives of the reclamation plan will be attained. This may include provisions for surety bonds, irrevocable letters of credit, trust funds, or other forms of financial assurances adopted by the board in accordance with PRC s 2773.1(e), to guarantee the reclamation in accordance with the approved reclamation plan.

s 3504.5. Mine Inspections Per Calendar Year.
The purpose of this section is to clarify and make specific the scope, nature, and frequency of a surface mine inspection required under Public Resources Code Section 2774(b).
(a) Inspection of a surface mining operation shall be conducted not less than once each calendar year to determine if the operation is in compliance with the requirements of Public Resources Code Chapter 9, commencing with section 2710. The lead agency, or the board if the board is the lead agency, shall send written notice to the operator at least ten days prior to any inspection.
(b) A person, who in the determination of the lead agency has demonstrated competence in performing inspections of surface mining operations, shall perform inspections. Evaluation of geological and engineering conditions, when required, shall be performed by or under the supervision of a Geologist Registered to practice in the state under the Geologists and Geophysicists Act or a Professional Engineer registered to practice in the state under the Professional Engineers Act.
(c) A surface mine inspection shall not be performed by any person who holds a financial interest in or has been employed by the surface mining operation in any capacity, including as a consultant or as a contractor, during the year preceding the inspection.
(d) Annual surface mine inspections may be conducted by a specialist or a team of specialists with expertise that includes but is not limited to, geology, engineering, surveying, ecology, water chemistry and quality, and permitting. Persons participating in the inspection shall follow such reasonable requirements of the operator so that there is minimal interference with the surface mining operation and the inspection is conducted in a safe manner in accordance with all state and federal safety requirements.
(e) The operator shall be responsible for the reasonable cost of the annual inspection conducted by the lead agency or by the board if the board is the lead agency.
(f) Inspections may include, but shall not be limited to the following: the operation's horizontal and vertical dimensions; volumes of materials stored on the site; slope angles of stock piles, waste piles and quarry walls; potential geological hazards; equipment and other facilities; samples of materials; photographic or other electronic images of the operation; any measurements or observations deemed necessary by the inspector or the lead agency to ensure the operation is in compliance with Public Resources Code Chapter 9.
(g) The inspection report to the lead agency shall consist of the inspection form MRRC-1 (4/97), developed by the department and approved by the board, and any other reports or documents prepared by the inspector or inspection team. The lead agency shall provide a copy of the completed inspection report along with the lead agency's statement regarding the status of compliance of the operation to the director within 30 days of completion of the inspection. A copy of the completed inspection report and lead agency statement of compliance shall also be provided to the mine operator within 30 days of completion of the inspection.

s 3505. Special Provisions.
(a) Exemptions.
(1) In addition to the provisions of Public Resources Code Section 2714(a), (c) and (d), any surface mining operation that does not involve either the removal of a total of more than 1000 cubic yards of minerals, ores, and overburden, or involve more than one acre in any one location, shall be exempt from the provisions of the Act.
(2) The purpose of this subdivision is to define the criteria of a "flood control facility," the clean-out of which is exempt from the requirements of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 under PRC Section 2714(a) and (b). It is intended that cleaning out of a previously engineered, constructed facility for which approved design plans exist is an activity to restore the usefulness of that flood control facility to its original design purpose. It is not the intent of this subsection to exempt the removal of materials from natural channels.
The removal of post-construction accumulated materials from a responsible public agency-approved, managed, engineered, constructed facility intended for the purpose of water retention or detention, debris retention, or from a flood water conveyance, where the post-extraction condition, capacity or grade of the facility or conveyance does not exceed the as-built approved design specification contained in the approved documents for the facility or conveyance, shall be exempt from the provisions of the Act.
(3) The excavation, grading, or transportation of mineral materials, including overburden, exclusive of commercial surface mining activities as defined in Public Resources Code Section 2714(d), that is wholly integral and necessary to the conduct of agricultural activities either on-site or on non-contiguous parcels, shall meet the requirements of Public Resources Code Section 2714(a) for farming excavations or grading. This exemption does not apply to the exportation of mineral materials, including overburden, from the property that is in excess of 1,000 cubic yards for commercial purposes.
(b) Vested Rights. The permit and reclamation plan requirements for persons with vested rights are stated in Public Resources Code Section 2776.
Where a person with vested rights continues surface mining in the same area subsequent to January 1, 1976, he shall obtain an approval of a reclamation plan covering the mined lands disturbed by such subsequent surface mining. In those cases where an overlap exists (in the horizontal and/or vertical sense) between pre- and post-Act mining, the reclamation plan shall call for reclamation proportional to that disturbance caused by the mining after the effective date of the Act.
