                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

 REVOCATION OF PERMITS; RECLAMATION WORK (§ 45.2-1238)

If a permit issued to a member is revoked pursuant to § 45.2-1213, then the
payments that the member has made to the Fund in connection with such permit
shall be forfeited to the Fund. The Director shall use such forfeited payments,
or as much of such payments as necessary, for the reclamation of the mining
operation to which the permit applied. If the cost of reclamation exceeds the
amount of the forfeited payments, the Director shall also use the proceeds from
the member&#8217;s bond or other security also forfeited in conjunction with the
revocation of the permit in accordance with § 45.2-1213, except that if all of
the member&#8217;s bonds and other securities have been released pursuant to §
45.2-1236, then the Director shall draw upon the Fund for the entire cost of
reclamation.
