State Mining and Geology Board Public Hearing

The State Mining and Geology Board (SMGB) will conduct a public hearing to receive comments regarding the City of Lake Elsinore’s administration of the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act (Public Resources Code Section 2710 et seq.) and the extent to which the board should assume any of the City’s SMARA authorities pursuant to PRC Section 2774.4 and the 45-Day Notice to Correct Deficiencies issued December 21, 2010.

Affected surface mine operators and interested persons have the right at the public hearing to present oral and written evidence on the matter being considered. The SMGB may, at the public hearing, place reasonable limits on the right of affected surface mining operators and interested persons to question and solicit testimony.

This public hearing is being conducted pursuant to PRC Section 2774.4. Please note that should the SMGB assume the City’s SMARA authority, the SMGB hereby gives notice that any of the existing SMARA program orders issued by the City will be continued in force by the SMGB and may be modified as the SMGB deems appropriate.
