(a) A permittee who has defaulted on any reclamation obligation and has thereby caused the Pool Bond Fund to incur reclamation expenses as a result thereof, shall not be eligible to participate in the Pool Bond Fund for any new permit or any permit renewal thereafter until full restitution for such default has been made to the Pool Bond Fund. The Director at his discretion and with the recommendation from the Coal Surface Mining Reclamation Pool Bond Fund Advisory Committee may require that the person seeking reinstatement pay interest at the composite rate determined by the Treasurer of Virginia compounded monthly.
(b) Compliance with Subsection (a) shall be a prerequisite to the filing by the permittee of any new permit application or renewal under the Act, but shall not affect the permittee's need to comply with all other requirements of the Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder in applying for a permit.
