The Division of Mineral Resources has field staff in all regions except Region 2 (New York City.) Mined Land Staff handles mining operations in the each of the remaining eight regions. Each Region has a Supervising Mined Land Reclamation Specialist. Depending on the extent of mining activity in the Region additional staff are assigned to a region.

Oil and Gas staff are headquartered out of the Region 9 Regional Suboffice (Allegany), the Region 8 Office in Avon, NY and the Central Office in Albany, NY. Allegany staff handle oil, gas and other regulated well activities in Region 9. Avon staff handles well permitting and operations in Regions 6, 7, and 8 (central portion of New York.) The Albany Office handles the remainder of the state for wells regulated under the Oil, Gas and Solution Mining Law. Other well types include underground gas storage, brine disposal, and geothermal wells deeper than 500 feet.

Permit applications should be directed to the appropriate office. Both Mined Land Financial Security and Oil and Gas Financial Security are handled out of the Central Office.
