208.9 Registering mine site.
1. At least seven days before beginning mining or removal of overburden at a mine site not previously registered, an operator engaging, or preparing to engage, in mining in this state shall register the mine site with the division. Application for registration shall be made upon a form provided by the division and shall be accompanied by a bond or security as provided by section 208.14. A registration renewal shall be filed annually. Application for renewal of registration shall be on a form provided by the division. The registration and registration cancellation fees shall be established by the division in an amount not to exceed the cost of administering the provisions of this chapter. The application shall include a description of the tract or tracts of land where the site is located and the estimated number of acres at the site to be affected by the mine. The description shall include the section, township, range, and county in which the land is located and shall otherwise describe the land with sufficient certainty to determine the location and to distinguish the land to be registered from other lands. The application shall include a statement explaining the authority of the applicant’s legal right to operate a mine on the land.
2. A mine site registered pursuant to this chapter shall have a clearly visible sign which identifies the mining operation. Failure to post and maintain a sign as required by this subsection, within thirty days after notice from the division, invalidates the registration.
3. The division shall automatically invalidate all registrations of an operator who fails to renew the operator’s mining license within a time period set by the division, who has been denied license renewal by the committee or subcommittee, or whose license has been suspended or revoked by the committee or subcommittee.
