Relates to certain mined land-plans

This bill requires mining operations on Long Island to maintain a minimum 10-foot buffer of undisturbed ground between active mining areas and the existing water table. It directly affects mining companies seeking permits in Nassau or Suffolk counties (populations over 1 million) that rely on aquifers for drinking water. The law amends environmental conservation law to mandate this buffer in all mining plans, ensuring mining activities don't threaten local water sources. This is a specific, enforceable requirement for new permits or renewals in designated aquifer areas.
