PREFACE The Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975 (SMARA) was enacted to promote the conservation of the state's mineral resources and to ensure adequate reclamation of mined lands. Among other provisions, SMARA requires the State Geologist to classify land in California for mineral resource potential. Presently, mineral land classification studies are being conducted in several areas of the state on a county basis. Upon completion of each study, the State Geologist submits the mineral land classification reports to the State Mining and Geology Board which transmits the information to appropriate local governments, that maintain jurisdictional authority in mining, reclamation, and related land-use activities. Local governments are required to incorporate the reports and maps into their general plans and consider the information when making land-use decisions. iii
