Approval of an operating permit by the board, pursuant to section 2-20-41, shall entitle the applicant to begin mining activities within a given tract unit.
An applicant shall have one year from the date the operating permit is approved or
from the date that all appeals have been settled, including appeals of state and federal
permits required to commence mining, whichever comes later, to commence mining activities.
If mining activities are not commenced within said time, the board, in its discretion,
may extend the operating permit upon a showing of good cause by the applicant. If
the board declines to approve an extension, the operating permit shall be considered
null and void. Operating permit approvals issued pursuant to the requirements of this
chapter shall be valid for a term of five (5) years from the date of approval unless
suspended or revoked prior to that time.
