  A nonmetallic mining reclamation permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall last through the mine's operation and reclamation as described in the approved reclamation plan. If changes occur in the area to be mined, the nature of planned reclamation, or other aspects of mining require that the approved reclamation plan be amended, the operator shall apply for a permit modification pursuant to s. NR 135.24 (2) . If the mine operator is not the landowner, the permit duration cannot exceed the duration of the lease unless the lease is renewed or the permit is transferred to a subsequent lessee or the landowner pursuant to s. NR 135.28 .
