Rule 27-50.130 - Management of acquired lands

(1) Land acquired under this rule may be used pending disposition under rule 50.140(207) for any lawful purpose that is not inconsistent with the reclamation activities and postreclamation uses for which it was acquired.

(2) Any user of land acquired under this part shall be charged a use fee. The fee shall be determined on the basis of the fair market value of the benefits granted to the user, charges for comparable uses within the surrounding area, or the cost to the state for providing the benefit, whichever is appropriate. The division may waive the fee if found in writing that such a waiver is in the public interest.

(3) All use fees collected shall be deposited in the state abandoned mined land fund, unless previously appropriated or otherwise authorized by the general assembly, for the specific purpose of operating and maintaining improvement of the land.
