The ICR pertains to a process that
includes a written cleanup program for each mine that will be
maintained in the underground mine file at the appropriate District
Office. This cleanup program is used as a tool to help abate
significant or persistent problems. This tool gives the Agency
leverage in abating violations by including cleanup program
revisions to address hazards detected in the mine. Mine operators
will need to show compliance in order to abate violations.
