The Oklahoma Department of Mines (ODM) is a state agency dedicated to ensuring the reclamation of land affected by mining operations and regulating the production of non-fuel minerals. With a commitment to protecting citizens' rights and promoting responsible mining practices, ODM enforces health, safety, and environmental regulations associated with surface and subsurface mining.
Through programs that prioritize human health and safety, land reclamation, and environmental impact mitigation, ODM issues permits, conducts inspections, regulates blasting activities, and offers courses in first aid, mine safety, and accident prevention. While no longer regulating coal mining, ODM remains a vital resource for mining-related matters in Oklahoma.
