When required by this chapter, an application for a surface mining permit shall provide, at a minimum, the following information:
(A) The size and legal description of the lands that will be directly affected by the surface mining operations and a map or maps showing the boundaries and topographic details of such lands, the location of all streams, roads, railroads, sewage disposal systems, groundwater basins, water wells and utility facilities within 500 feet of the site and the location of all proposed access roads to be constructed for the surface mining operation;
(B) A description of the general geology of the surrounding area and a detailed description of the geology of the area in which surface mining operation is to be conducted, including a description of depth to groundwater on the site and the quality of the groundwater;
(C) The anticipated progression of the surface mining operations, including the proposed dates for the initiation and termination of the operations and a time frame for each phase of operations;
(D) A description of and plan for the type of surface mining operation to be employed, including the complexity of the operation and the manner and degree to which the mined lands will be disturbed;
(E) A time schedule for completion of surface mining operations on each segment of the mined lands so that reclamation can be initiated at the earliest possible time on those portions of the mined lands that will not be subject to further disturbance by the surface mining operations;
(F) The maximum anticipated depth of the surface mining operations;
(G) The location of equipment, stockpiles, settling ponds, interim drainage systems, machinery and waste dumps in the areas to be mined and the nature, quantity and location of any explosives to be stored at the site;
(H) The nature and extent of any discharge of liquid waste that may occur at the site, including, where applicable, the direction of flow, methods of containment and potential risk of water groundwater contamination;
(I) The method of handling simultaneous excavation and reclamation, if applicable;
(J) The anticipated type and amount of minerals to be removed from the site and the truck routes to be used, the amount of mining waste to be retained on the site and the amount of mining waste to be disposed off-site, including the method and location of disposal and the truck routes to be used;
(K) The anticipated hours of operation, the maximum anticipated noise levels during operating hours and the location and intensity of any lights to be used at the site;
(L) The methods of dust control and noise suppression to be employed at the site;
(M) The location and design of any structures to be erected at the site.
