Inspector may require notice before reactivation of mine. Under this section, the inspector could require that the operator or owner of a mine that is proposed to be reactivated give notice of the contemplated reactivation with such other information as inspector might desire. Under this statute inspector could promulgate a regulation requiring that notice of this type be given a reasonable time prior to the reactivation by the mine owners or operators so that inspector could plan inspections accordingly. 1956 Op.
