Refuse Piles and Impoundment Structures, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements

OMB 1219-0015 · DOL/MSHA.

OMB 1219-0015

Requires coal mine operators to submit to MSHA annual reports and certification on refuse piles and impoundments and to keep records of the results of weekly examinations and instrumentation monitoring. Impoundments are structures that can impound water, sediment, or slurry or any combination of materials; and refuse piles are deposits of coal mine waste (other than overburden or spoil) that are removed during mining operations or separated from mined coal and deposited on the surface. The failure of these structures can have a devastating affect on a community. To avoid or minimize such disasters, standards have been promulgated for the design, construction, and maintenance of these structures; for annual certifications; for certification for hazardous refuse piles; for the frequency of inspections; and the methods of abandonment for impoundments and impounding structures.

The latest form for Refuse Piles and Impoundment Structures, Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements expires 2027-03-31 and is listed under ICR 202308-1219-002.
