The operator shall reclaim prospecting sites in accordance with a reclamation plan approved by the department. If a prospecting site is part of a prospective mining site to be regulated under ch. NR 132, the reclamation plan shall include provisions for interim and permanent reclamation of the prospecting site. Prospecting sites shall be permanently reclaimed within 4 years after completion of prospecting unless the prospecting site is part of a site included under a pre-application notification submitted under s. NR 132.105 or a mining permit application submitted under s. NR 132.107. The reclamation plan for the prospecting site shall include all of the following: NR 131.109(1)(1) Detailed information and maps on reclamation procedures including all of the following: NR 131.109(1)(a)(a) Manner, location, sequence, and anticipated duration of reclamation.
