Abstract: | |
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) with responsibility, in cooperation with the states and Indian Tribes, to protect citizens and the environment during coal mining and reclamation, and to reclaim mines abandoned before 1977. OSM assists states in operating a nationwide program that protects society and the environment from the adverse effects of coal mining, while ensuring that the surface coal mining can be done without permanent damage to land and water resources.
Established August 3, 1977 to administer the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, the OSM is the smallest and only regulatory bureau of the DOI. OSM's main objectives are to oversee State mining regulatory and abandoned mine reclamation programs, assist States in meeting the objectives of the surface mining law, and regulate mining and reclamation activities on Federal and Indian lands (and in those states choosing not to assume primary responsibility).
