Dear Jim Willschau:
In conducting recent site inspections and reviews of Annual Reports, the Division of
Reclamation, Mining, and Safety ( "Division') has observed that many sites are not in
compliance with the permit status requirements of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the
Extraction of Construction Materials ( "Act ") and the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials
( "Rules "). Specifically, if your operation is not active or has limited mining activity please read
the following information carefully, as action on your part may be required.
The Act and the Rules require that operators who are not continuously engaged in the extraction
of construction materials must either file a notice of Temporary Cessation ( "TC ") or apply for
Intermittent Status ( "IS ") as explained below. Operators must file a notice of TC whenever they
intend to, or do, temporarily cease production for more than a one year period. C.R.S. § 34-32.5 -
103(11)(b); Rule 1.13.5(1). The notice of TC must be filed in writing by separate cover to the
Division and include the following:
1. A revision fee in the amount of $144.00.
2. A statement of when the initial five -year period of TC will commence.
3. Reason for non - production.
4. A general plan for the resumption of mining.
5. Measures to be taken to comply with reclamation requirements related to Rule 3.1
including weed control, storm water control, and general site upkeep.
6. Demonstration that the existing Financial Warranty is adequate to cover current
reclamation liabilities.
7. File the required annual report and fee when due.
As an alternative to TC, operators may qualify for IS, but only if they comply with the
following requirements:
