(A) Conditions present at the mine location warrant the exception;

(B) The protection of the health, safety, and livelihood of the public is not reduced;

(C) There is no additional effect to the landowner's or adjacent landowner's property than the effects under a normal permit;

(D) The protection afforded by sections 444.760-444.790, RSMo is not reduced;

(E) The procedure to be used in the review of a request for a variance shall be as follows:

2. The operator shall list the number of acres involved in the variance request area, the dates that work is to commence and is to be completed, and the nature of the variance request; and
