Surface coalmining within two thousand feet (2,000') of any area zoned R-1 residential is prohibited unless permitted by a special use permit.
A. Definition: "Surface coalmining" is defined as any uncovering, extraction, excavation or disturbance of coal on any land, whether or not previously mined.
B. Criteria: Criteria for issuance of a special use permit for surface coalmining shall be as follows:
1. Application for a special use permit shall be filed with the city clerk.
2. The applicant shall provide the name of the individual, corporation or other entity on behalf of whom the application is made as well as the address of the location of the applicant.
3. The application must be accompanied by a verified statement by a professional certified engineer assessing the impact such mining may deliver into the city stormwater or drainage system. Until and unless there is filed with the city clerk a certification by a licensed laboratory that such water is free of contaminants of any nature that may be hazardous to humans or plant life with which it may come into contact, no permit may be issued.
4. If the area in which mining or excavation of coal is inundated and water must be pumped or otherwise removed, no such water operation upon any residential zoned property within two thousand feet (2,000'), such assessed impact to include potential physical damage to such property, economic or fiscal impact with respect to valuation of such property, and potential health and safety impacts upon such property.
5. There shall also be filed with the city clerk a certificate by a licensed engineer that such water to be pumped or otherwise removed shall not be placed in the city drainage system in an amount too great for the capacity of the system.
