Limited mining operations-amendments.

HB 10 amends Wyoming's rules for small-scale mining operations (15 acres or less) that extract non-coal minerals like sand, gravel, and limestone. It increases reclamation bonding requirements: $2,000 per acre before July 2025 and $5,000 per acre after for most operations, with higher rates for quarries. The bill limits operations to five years unless extended via annual reports, restricts multiple same-mineral operations within six miles, and allows reduced reclamation if landowners plan to reuse the site. These changes directly affect small mining operators seeking to extract non-coal minerals on limited land.
