Section 45-6B-4 - Local government permit--Additional bond or surety not authorized--Conditional mining permit. - South Dakota Statutes

45-6B-4. Local government permit--Additional bond or surety not authorized--Conditional mining permit. Any county or first or second class municipality which has adopted a comprehensive plan and zoning ordinances may adopt ordinances or requirements governing mining operations which are not inconsistent or in conflict with applicable state laws or administrative rules. However, such county or municipality may not require additional bonds or sureties if the same are required by state law or administrative rule. The Board of Minerals and Environment may not grant a permit for a mining operation unless the applicant has complied with all county or city ordinances and requirements and obtained necessary county or city permits. However, if the applicant has substantially complied with the procedure for obtaining any necessary county or city permits but has not obtained such permits due to administrative delay, the Board of Minerals and Environment may grant a mining permit which is conditioned upon the issuance of all necessary county or city permits within sixty days of the date of the board's issuance of the conditioned mining permit. If a county or municipality has adopted an ordinance governing mining operations, any proceedings of and any action taken by the county or municipality with regard to the proposed mining operation may be considered by the Board of Minerals and Environment before the issuance or denial of a permit pursuant to this chapter, including a permit conditioned upon the issuance of all necessary county or city permits.
No mining operations may be commenced under a permit conditioned upon the issuance of all necessary county or city permits until the Board of Minerals and Environment is notified by the applicant in writing that the required county or city permits have been obtained by the applicant.
