Surface Mining
Surface mining, as the same is defined in O.C.G.A. § 12-4-72, Mineral Resources and Caves Act is exempt from the City of Albany’s Soil & Erosion Ordinance but it is regulated and permitted by the Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Additionally, surface mining activity can only be conducted within the city limits of Albany on land parcels zoned M-2 (Heavy Industrial) or AG (Agricultural) with special approval by the Planning & Development Department. Approval by the Planning & Development Department (229 438-3900) and the GAEPD (Susan Wagner, (404) 362-2692) is required before any surface mining activity can commence. Surface mining is defined as “any activity constituting all or part of a process for the removal of minerals, ores, and other solid matter for sale or for processing or for consumption in the regular operation of a business. Tunnels, shafts, borrow pits of less than 1.1 disturbed acres, and dimension stone quarries shall not be considered to be surface mining.” The GAEPD website is: www.epa.gov/ga.
