This program ensures that lands mined for non-fuel minerals are reclaimed in accordance with state law. Examples of non-fuel minerals that are currently mined in Alabama include sand, gravel, clay, and bauxite. This section issues mining permits, ensures that mine sites are properly bonded for reclamation purposes, and makes periodic inspections. A streamlined permit application process reduces the start-up time for new operations, and expedites permit renewals. The annual fee is $250 per application and $2500 per acre bonding (per acre to be disturbed).
