Specifically, if your operation is not active or has limited mining activity please read <br /> the following information carefully, as action on your part may be required. <br /> The Act and the Rules require that operators who are not continuously engaged in the extraction <br /> of construction materials must either file a notice of Temporary Cessation("TC") or apply for <br /> Intermittent Status ("IS") as explained below. Operators must file a notice of TC whenever they <br /> intend to, or do,temporarily cease production for more than a one year period. C.R.S. § 34-32.5- <br /> 103(11)(b); Rule 1.13.5(1). The notice of TC must be filed in writing by separate cover to the <br /> Division and include the following: <br /> 1. A revision fee in the amount of$144.00. <br /> 2. A statement of when the initial five-year period of TC will commence. <br /> 3. Reason for non-production. <br /> 4. A general plan for the resumption of mining. <br /> 5. Measures to be taken to comply with reclamation requirements related to Rule 3.1 <br /> including weed control, storm water control, and general site upkeep. <br /> 6. Demonstration that the existing Financial Warranty is adequate to cover current <br /> reclamation liabilities. <br /> 7. File the required annual report and fee when due. <br /> As an alternative to TC, operators may qualify for IS,but only if they comply with the <br /> following requirements: <br /> Office of Office of <br /> Mined Land Reclamation Denver•Grand Junction•Durango Active and <br /> Inactive Mines <br />
