Committee OKs Mine Control Bill In Ohio Senate
The Senate Conservation Committee endorsed an eight to zero vote on a House-passed strip mine control bill requested by Gov. Lausche. The measure creates a division of reclamation, assigns a six year $6500 salary chief, and establishes a five member appeals board with five year terms. Licenses cost $50 for operations over 250 tons annually, plus $10 per acre with $190 per acre bond. Violations carry license revocation and $1000 daily fines. The bill aims to require reclamation work and fines enforcement to curb stripping.
