Upon a determination, after hearing, that a violation of a permit provision has occurred, the Board of Minerals and Environment may modify, suspend, or revoke the pertinent permit. If the board suspends or revokes the permit of an operator, the operator may continue mining operations only for the purpose of bringing the mining operation into satisfactory compliance with the provisions of the operator's permit. Once such operations are completed to the satisfaction of the board, the board shall reinstate the permit of the operator.
