Modifies standards relating to mining practices

Summary

HB 2737 replaces dozens of old mining statutes with new rules that require permits, environmental assessments, and public notice before mining can occur. It limits mining near schools, wildlife refuges and other sensitive sites, and sets limits on gravel removal. The changes aim to protect water, air, and community health while giving landowners more oversight.
