Book Description
The Gen. Mining Act of 1872 helped open the West by allowing individuals to obtain exclusive rights to mine gold, silver, and other hardrock minerals from fed. lands without having to pay a fed. royalty. However, western states charge royalties. For years, some mining operators did not reclaim land used in their mining operations, creating environ. and physical safety hazards. In 2001 the fed. gov¿t. began requiring operators to provide financial assurances to cover reclamation costs before they began exploration or mining operations. This testimony focuses on the: (1) royalties states charge; (2) number of abandoned hardrock mine sites and hazards; and (3) value and coverage of financial assurances operators use to guarantee reclamation costs.

Book Description
The General Mining Act of 1872 helped open the West by allowing individuals to obtain exclusive rights to mine billions of dollars worth of gold, silver, and other hardrock (locatable) minerals from fed. lands without having to pay a fed. royalty. For years, some mining operators abandoned land used in their mining operations, creating environmental and physical safety hazards. To curb further growth in the number of abandoned hardrock mines on fed. lands, in 1981, the Dept. of the Interior¿s Bureau of Land Mgmt. (BLM) began requiring mining operators to reclaim BLM land disturbed by these operations. This testimony focuses on the: (1) royalties states charge; and (2) number of abandoned hardrock mine sites and hazards. Illustrations.

Book Description
The Mining Act of 1872 helped foster the development of the West by giving individuals exclusive rights to mine gold, silver, copper, and other hardrock minerals on federal lands. However, miners often abandoned mines, leaving behind structures, safety hazards, and contaminated land and water. Four federal agencies--the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), the Forest Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)--fund the cleanup of some of these sites. To curb further growth in the number of abandoned hardrock mines on federal lands, in 1981 BLM began requiring mining operators to reclaim lands when their operations ceased. In 2001, BLM began requiring all operators to provide financial assurances to guarantee funding for reclamation costs if the operator did not complete the task as required. This testimony provides information on the (1) federal funds spent to clean up abandoned hardrock mine sites since 1998, (2) number of abandoned hardrock mine sites and hazards, and (3) value and coverage of financial assurances operators use to guarantee reclamation costs on BLM land. To address these issues, GAO, among other steps, asked 12 western states and Alaska to provide information on the number of abandoned mine sites and associated features in their states using a consistent definition.

Book Description
Miners have extracted billions of dollars worth of gold, silver, copper, and other hardrock (locatable) minerals from fed. lands without having to pay a royalty. The vast majority of the fed. lands where hardrock mining operations (HMO) occur are in 12 western states, including Alaska. These western states have statutes governing HMO on lands in their state. These states charge royalties that allow them to share in the proceeds from hardrock minerals extracted from state-owned lands. This report provides info. on: (1) which types of royalties the 12 western states assess on HMO; and (2) trends on imports and exports of hardrock minerals. It also provides data on HMO on fed. lands that the fed. gov¿t. either does not routinely collect or consistently maintain. Ill.
