These rules establish the notification requirements for exploration and the application, operation, and reclamation requirements for mined lands. In addition, they establish the application and closure requirements for cyanidation facilities. Lastly, these rules contain the financial assurance requirements for mining and cyanidation facilities.
This rule chapter is scheduled to be repealed and replaced in 2025 for review during the 2026 legislative session. IDL is starting this rulemaking early due to the many interested parties and complex issues.
Preliminary rule drafts, research materials, and supporting documents and meeting locations and times will be posted to the agency website throughout the rulemaking process: https://www.idl.idaho.gov/rulemaking/docket-20-0302-2401/.
