§ 35-11-412 — License revocation or suspension

(a) The director shall revoke an operator's license:
(i) If at any time he becomes aware of the existence
of any fact, reason, or condition that would have caused him to
deny an application for a mining permit whether or not such
condition existed at the time of the application;
(ii) If he determines that the operator intentionally
misstated or failed to provide any fact that would have resulted
in the denial of a license and which good faith compliance with
the policies, purposes and provisions of this act would have
required him to provide.
(b) The director may suspend the license if he determines
the operator is in substantial violation of the terms of the
license or of the provisions of this act. The suspension shall
be lifted when the violations have been corrected to the
director's satisfaction. No suspension shall be unreasonably
prolonged.
(c) Unless an emergency exists, the revocation or
suspension of a license shall become effective upon thirty (30)
days notice to the applicant. In the case of an emergency, the
director may cause such revocation or suspension to become
effective immediately upon receipt of notice.
