Permits/approvals are required at all stages of the mining life cycle – Exploration permits, Environmental Assessment Approvals, Construction Approvals (mine/mill/HSWDG, tailings and waste rock areas, air emission abatement equipment, potable waterworks etc), Operating Approvals for the site as well as potable waterworks, Decommissioning and Reclamation Approvals.
One requirement of The Mineral Industry Environmental Protection Regulations is that mining companies are required to provide the Ministry of Environment with an updated Decommissioning and Reclamation plan at least once every 5 years and that they must also post financial assurance (generally through an Irrevocable Letter of Credit or D&R Trust Fund) to cover the cost of decommissioning and reclamation in the event that the company is no longer economically viable. In this way, the taxpayers of Saskatchewan are assured that they won’t bear the cost of decommissioning and reclaiming a site.
Also mention that for mines on Crown Lands the final step in the process is Institutional Control. In 2007, the province legislated The Reclaimed Industrial Sites Act and The Reclaimed Industrial Sites Regulations to establish and enforce the Institutional Control Program (ICP).  The ICP implements the process for the long term monitoring and maintenance of sites when mining/milling activities have ended, remediation has been completed and approved; and the process for transfer of the site to provincial responsibility.  The two primary components of the ICP are the Institutional Control Registry and the Institutional Control funds: the Monitoring and Maintenance Fund and the Unforeseen Events Fund.  The Registry will maintain a formal record of closed sites, manage the funding and perform any required monitoring and maintenance work.  This process is managed by the Ministry of Economy who also administer the Orphan Oil and Gas Well and Facility Program.
