Which document details the consequences of not complying with established mining procedures?

The issued permit is the document that specifically outlines the consequences of not complying with established mining procedures. Typically, permits are granted by regulatory authorities and include stipulations that must be adhered to, such as safety guidelines, operational procedures, and compliance measures. If a mining operation fails to follow these established procedures, the permit typically contains provisions that detail possible repercussions. These can include fines, cessation of operations, or even revocation of the permit altogether.

While other documents like the Miner Safety Handbook may provide important safety guidelines and training information for workers, they do not usually enumerate the legal consequences associated with failures in compliance. Similarly, the Environmental Impact Report primarily focuses on assessing the potential environmental consequences of mining activities rather than enforcing compliance with mining procedures. Contractor Agreements typically set the terms of engagement between parties but do not explicitly detail consequences for procedural noncompliance as a permit does.
