These regulations establish general and specific rules for the reclamation of areas disturbed by surface mining operations (except limestone, marble, and dimension stone) including mining and reclamation procedures, revegetation of disturbed lands, and other matters pertaining to surface mining. Borrow pits, where the soil removed is to be used as fill material in construction, are not to be construed as surface mining as defined in these regulations.
