Bill > H662

This bill amends Section 9b of Chapter 21 of the General Laws, which pertains to the groundwater survey program, by adding language to paragraph 2. Specifically, it inserts a clause that allows the groundwater survey program to evaluate the impacts of mining operations and provide hydro-geological recommendations for closing surface mines and for how land can be used after mining is completed. This expansion aims to integrate groundwater assessment more directly into the planning and closure processes for mining activities.
