Mine Permitting
At Skelly and Loy, we assist the coal and industrial mineral sectors of the mining industry in the preparation of various local, state, and federal mine permit applications. Specific Scopes of Work may include new mine permit applications, revision applications, bonding increment applications, NPDES applications, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permitting, conditional use and zoning applications, and others. We complete all facets of application preparation, including operations and reclamation planning, environmental investigations, erosion and sediment control planning, geologic interpretation and hydrologic impact assessment, subsidence issues, cultural and natural resources, and in-house map preparation. Services are also provided with respect to preparation for and participation in public meetings which are frequently requested as a result of an application filed with the state or as a result of a zoning issue.
