519A.240 - Effect of compliance with federal plan of operations. - Nevada Statutes

519A.240  Effect of compliance with federal plan of operations.  If a mining operation or exploration project is conducted on land administered by a federal agency, an approved federal plan of operations and a surety that are consistent with the requirements of this chapter supersede the requirements for a permit and bond or other surety otherwise required by this chapter. If the mining operation or exploration project is conducted on a site which includes both public land and privately owned land, compliance with the federal plan suffices if that plan substantially provides for the reclamation and bond or other surety required by this chapter. Nothing in this section affects the requirement for a permit set forth in NRS 519A.180 or 519A.200 or the required payment of fees set forth in NRS 519A.160 or 519A.260.
