The rule addresses the impacts of surface coal mining operations on surface water, groundwater, and the productivity of mining operation sites.
Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing H.J.Res. 38 as public Law on Feb 16, 2017. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
