Outlines the permit process, including requirements governing remediation plans, investigative sampling, and application review and approval.

Defines the term "Good Samaritan" to mean a person that, with respect to historic mine residue at an inactive or abandoned mine site: (1) had no role in the creation of the mine residue; (2) had no role and is not related to a person who had a role in creating the environmental pollution caused by the mine residue; and (3) is not liable under any law for the remediation of the mine residue.
