 WHEN THE DIRECTOR MAY CAUSE MAPS TO BE MADE; PAYMENT OF EXPENSE (§ 45.2-1132)

A. If a licensed mine operator or his agent neglects or fails to furnish to the
Director a copy of any map or extension thereof, as provided in &#xA7;
45.2-1131, the Director may cause a correct survey and map of such mine or
extension to be made at the expense of the licensed operator of such mine. The
expense of making such survey and map or extension thereof shall be recovered
from such licensed operator as other debts are recoverable by a civil action.

B. If at any time the Director has reason to believe that a map or extension
furnished pursuant to &#xA7; 45.2-1131 is substantially incorrect or will not
serve the purpose for which it is intended, he may have a survey and map or
extension thereof made or corrected. The expense of making such survey and map
or extension thereof shall be paid by the licensed operator and recovered from
such licensed operator as other debts are recoverable by a civil action.
However, if the map filed by the licensed operator is found to be substantially
correct, the expense shall be paid by the Commonwealth.
