    Subpart 3601_3601-Mineral Materials Disposal; General Provisions

 

Sec. 3601.14  When can BLM dispose of mineral materials from unpatented 

mining claims?



    (a) BLM may dispose of mineral materials from unpatented mining 

claims if disposal does not endanger or materially interfere with 

prospecting, mining, or processing operations, or uses reasonably 

incident thereto.

    (b) BLM will ask a mining claimant for a waiver before disposing of 

mineral materials from a claim. If the mining claimant refuses to sign a 

waiver, BLM will make sure that disposal of the mineral materials will 

not be detrimental to the public interest. We also will consult with the 

Solicitor's Office, if necessary, before proceeding with the disposal.
