Notwithstanding the issuance of a mineral lease, no mining activity shall be conducted on trust surface estate except in accordance with a written reclamation plan approved by the commissioner. Reclamation plans consist of the mining permit or other authorizations issued by the permitting agency and any supplemental requirements deemed necessary by the commissioner to assure adequate protection and reclamation of trust surface estate. Upon approval by the commissioner, the reclamation plan shall automatically be incorporated into the mineral lease without the necessity of further agreement between the lessee and the commissioner. A violation of the reclamation plan shall constitute a violation of the mineral lease.
