Mining Activities and Administration Requirements: (Refer to Division 8, Chapters 82.17 and 88.03 of the County Development Code, Public Resources Code Sections 2207 and 2710 et seq., and California Code of Regulations Section 3500 et seq. – the statutes and state regulations are collectively known as the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975, “SMARA”).
The provisions of SMARA are made part of the County Development Code by reference with the same force and effect as if the provisions were specifically and fully contained in the Development Code; except that when the provisions of the Development Code are more restrictive than corresponding State provisions, the Development Code shall prevail.
