Mining

Maryland has a rich mining history — coal in the Appalachian counties to the west, aggregates and sand throughout the Central and Eastern Shore counties and blue stone in the north and northeast. The lawyers at Rich & Henderson, P.C., have actively represented mining companies on these issues for decades throughout the state. Our experience includes:

• Local zoning approvals, such as special exception proceedings;
• State permitting approvals;
• Mine safety enforcement defense;
• Defending permit and operational challenges;
• Mine expansions;
• Sinkholes and karst terrain;
• Closure and reclamation;
• Marketing and sale of mining facilities;
• State and local enforcement matters.
