The Interstate Mining Commission was created
by the Interstate Mining Compact initiated by the
Council of State Governments. To date, seventeen
states have ratified the Compact; Maryland ratified
in 1973 (Chapter 297, Acts of 1973).
The purpose of the Compact is to protect and
restore land, water, and other resources affected by
mining. The Commission assists in reducing the
deterioration of land, water, and air attributable to
mining and encourages programs to protect, con-
serve, and improve the usefulness of natural re-
sources. The Commission also recommends
techniques to improve, restore, or protect land and
other resources affected by mining and helps sup-
port and maintain an efficient, productive mining
industry.
The Compact's annual budget is $182,615. The
first half of the budget is assessed to each state on
an equal basis. The other half is pro-rated on the
basis of the value of mineral production in the party
states.
The Commission is composed of the seventeen
governors of the states that have ratified the Inter-
state Mining Compact. Each governor may desig-
nate an alternate (Code Natural Resources Article,
secs. 7-701 through 7-703).
