Wisconsin Chapter 14 Non-Metallic Mining is a set of regulations that govern the mining of materials such as stone, sand, gravel, and clay for commercial purposes. These regulations are designed to protect the environment and ensure that the mining process is conducted in a safe and efficient manner. The two main types of Wisconsin Non-Metallic Mining are Surface Mining and In-Situ Mining. Surface Mining involves extracting material from the surface of the ground, while In-Situ Mining involves extracting material from an underground source. Both types of mining are subject to state and federal permitting requirements and must adhere to specific safety standards. Additionally, both types of mining must adhere to reclamation requirements established by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
