Sets forth procedural guidelines for a applying for, reviewing, issuing, enforcing, and terminating such permits for remediation activities at an abandoned or inactive mined land from which there is, or may be, a discharge of pollutants into U.S. waters. Requires: (1) an applicant to submit a remediation plan describing pollutants present, persons responsible, remediation goals, practices to meet maximum daily load allocations, the monitoring method, and the remediation schedule and budget; and (2) the Administrator to issue regulations establishing generally applicable requirements for such plans.
