WM. PRESTON LANE, JR., GOVERNOR. 55

ing information: (a) Name or number of the operation;
(b) Location of the operation as to county with reference
to the nearest public road; (c) A description of the tract
or tracts by metes and bounds; and (d) The name and
address of the landowner or the name and address of the
landowner's duly authorized representative.

182. Within six (6) months after the operation is finish-
ed or abandoned, the operator shall file with the Bureau of
Mines, a completion report, on a form to be prescribed and
furnished by the Director, identifying the operation, stating
the area of land affected by open pit naming, stating whether
the operator intends to carry on drift mining upon the
premises and what provision has been made therefor.

183. If the operation is not completed or abandoned
within one year following the date of filing the certificate,
the operator shall, within sixty (60) days after the end of
said year, file with the Bureau of Mines an annual report
on a form to be prescribed and furnished by the Director,
identifying the operation and stating the area of land affect-
ed by open pit mining during the year.

184. Upon receipt of said completion report or annual
report, the Director shall charge the area affected by open
pit mining against the bond filed by the operator at the
time of registration. Should the area actually affected by
open pit mining within the year exceed the estimate made
at the time of registration, the operator shall, within thirty
(30) days thereafter, file an amended certificate and addi-
tional bond. If the area actually affected by open pit mining
during the year is less than the estimate, the Director shall
issue a release of the surplus of the bond upon which lia-
bility has not been charged as aforesaid.

185. If the operator continues to engage in open pit min-
ing of bituminous coal or fire clay beyond the period for
which the certificate has been filed, a renewal of the certifi-
cate shall be filed with the Bureau of Mines together with
a bond or deposit in accordance therewith, as hereinbefore
provided in the case of the original certificate.

186. Within one year after the operation is completed,
the operator shall place sufficient overburden in the open
cut to cover the exposed faces of coal or fire clay seams and
shall place such additional overburden in the open cut and
level the peaks and ridges of spoilbanks to such degree as
the Director may prescribe necessary to restore the surface
to a condition favorable to the growth of trees, grasses or
shrubs.
