Once gold ore is located and determined to be economically feasible to recover, permits from various governmental agencies must be obtained, as Mining is highly regulated - it is one of the most regulated industries in the United States.  Extensive planning must be conducted prior to submitting permit applications and substantial baseline data must be collected to describe the environment.  All of the plans and information submitted are available for public review.  All plans and data must be generated, submitted and approved before any construction or mining occurs. Zoning requirements and land use restrictions govern mining on the County level.  Air quality, water quality and quantity, blasting, and noise limitations are among the specifications that must be met at a State level.  Wastes as well as recycled materials must be managed in accordance with State and Federal requirements.  Archaeological resources must be addressed if Federal or State lands are involved; Placer Mining Corp does so as a matter of policy. Wildlife protection is guided principally by the State.  Storage and use of all chemicals as well as the rock excavated and crushed is regulated at a State level.  Reclamation is required and is guaranteed by posting adequate bonds to the Bureau of Land Management.
