1. Operators must apply for IS in a permit, amendment, or technical revision: The Act <br /> provides that intermittent operations must include, in their permit applications, "a <br /> statement that the affected lands are to be used for less than one hundred eighty days per <br /> year." C.R.S. § 34-32.5-103(11)(b); Rule 1.13.5(1). The Rules provide that this <br /> statement may also be made in an application for an amendment or technical revision, <br /> and that the statement must include the information otherwise required when filing a <br /> notice of TC. Rule 1.13.7. Please verify that your operation has been granted IS through <br /> the process noted below. If not,please contact the Division to discuss your options. <br /> 2. The Act provides that intermittent operations must"resume operating within one year." <br /> C.R.S. § 34-32.5-103(1 l)(b). In order to fulfill this requirement, operators must <br /> demonstrate that active mining occurs every year that they remain in IS. Active mining <br /> operations require the development or extraction of a construction material from its <br /> natural occurrences, which may include; open mining, surface operations,transportation <br /> operations, processing operations such as crushing and sorting, as well as stockpile <br /> removal. Please note regular onsite maintenance activities such as weed control, site <br /> maintenance, and storm water control maintenance do not constitute mining activities. In <br /> order for your operation to maintain IS status,you must have been granted the status and <br /> provide a description of the active mining operation activities (consistent with the <br /> definitions above)that have occurred at the site during the past year in your Annual <br /> Report. <br /> 3. Specific information required in Annual Reports: IS and TC operations must report their <br /> status to the Board through their Annual Reports. The most recent Annual Report for <br /> your operation may or may not be sufficient to satisfy these reporting requirements. <br /> Accordingly,you must provide the following information to the Division during the <br /> 2013 reporting year: <br /> a) A description of the condition of the operation at the time it entered IS; <br /> along with a description of the current condition of the operation, <br /> supplemented with maps. <br /> b) A description of the measures that have been and will be implemented to <br /> comply with reclamation and performance standards. <br /> c) A description of your plans for resumption of mining. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact the Division Specialist with oversight of your permit. <br /> If you do not know that person,please contact the Main Office Operator at 303.866.3567 and <br /> request the specialist for your county or visit our website at www.mining.state.co.us. <br />
