Summary

Coalfield Environment Enhancement Act of 1990 - Amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to authorize any State with an approved abandoned mine reclamation program to establish a State-administered Remining Insurance Program which shall include a State Self-Sustaining Remining Insurance Fund. Declares that such a Fund shall assume the liability of member surface mining operators to mitigate adverse environmental effects resulting from specified unanticipated conditions. Sets forth a matching State and Federal contributions schedule to fund the Remining Insurance Fund. Authorizes State surface mining reclamation programs to include a separate permit system for the reprocessing or removal of abandoned coal refuse or disposal piles. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to increase the annual Federal assistance grant for State surface mining control programs if a State has insufficient fiscal resources for a program enforcement.
