SB 188 South Dakota Senate · 2026 Regular Session

revise public notice requirements for new sand, gravel, and construction aggregate mines.

SB 188 revises public notice requirements for new sand, gravel, and construction aggregate mining operations in South Dakota. It changes notice timing based on mine size: small operations (≤10 acres or ≤25,000 tons/year) require one notice 14 days before starting, while larger operations need three notices at 180, 90, and 30 days prior. Notices must include specific details like location, use of explosives, dust mitigation plans, and completion dates. The bill also expands who receives advance notice to include nearby residents, county officials, local media, and state agencies like Agriculture and Game Fish & Parks.
