Review of the application and exhibits will NOT begin until all required information is submitted. The Office will <br />then review the submitted information for adequacy. This package contains the required application form and directions for <br />preparing Exhibits as outlined and described in Rules 6.4 and 6.5. <br />It is recommended that you contact the agencies listed under "Compliance With Other Laws" prior to submitting the <br />application to the Office. You must send a notice, on a form approved by the Board, to the local board of county <br />commissioners and, if the mining operation is within the boundaries of a soil conservation district, to the board of <br />supervisors of the soil conservation district, prior to filing the application. A copy of these "Notice of Filing Application" <br />forms have been attached for your use. You must include proof of such mailings with the application at the time the <br />application is submitted to the Office for filing (Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.5). <br />Upon filing the application, place for public review a copy of the application, less confidential items, with the clerk and <br />recorder of the county or counties in which the affected land is located. Any changes or additions made to an application <br />following submittal must be filed with the county clerk and recorder. You must also provide the Office with an affidavit or <br />receipt demonstrating that the change was filed with the county clerk and recorder no later than the close of business on the <br />day the change was filed with the Office (Rule 1.8.1). The copy of the application and any changes or additions placed at <br />the office of the county clerk and recorder shall not be recorded, but shall be retained there for at least sixty (80) days after <br />a decision on the application by the Office and be available for inspection during this period. At the end of this period, the <br />application may be reclaimed by the applicant or destroyed (Rule 1.6.2(2)). <br />t <br />Prior to the Office making an approval decision (consideration of the application), you must submit proof of publication <br />and proof of all required notices. Proof of notice may be by submitting return receipts of a certified mailing or by proof of <br />personal service (Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.5). <br />APPLICATION REVIEW PROCEDURES: <br />When the Office receives the application form, all required exhibits and the application fee, the Office will set a date for <br />consideration of the application. This date will be within 90 days of the date of submittal. The date set for consideration <br />may be extended, pursuant to Rule 1.4.5(3), if you change or make additions to the application (Rule 1.8). <br />The Office may schedule an informal conference on the application. You may also request an informal conference. Please <br />consult Rule 1.4.6 for the procedures on informal conferences. <br />During the 90 -day review period, the Office will review your application to determine if it is technically adequate and <br />meets the requirements of the Act and Mineral Rules and Regulations. You will be notified if any deficiencies exist and <br />will be asked to respond prior to the date set for consideration of the application. <br />The Office will issue its decision on or before the date set for consideration of the application. The decision will be either <br />to: (1) approve; (2) approve with conditions; (3) deny; or, (4) set the application for a hearing before the Board. Any <br />conditions upon approval, unless agreed to by the applicant, shall be treated as a denial. The grounds for denial, approval <br />with conditions, or approval over an objection will be set forth in writing (Rule 1.4.8). <br />A hearing will automatically be scheduled if the Office's decision is: (1) denial; (2) approval when objections have been <br />received; (3) approval with conditions when these are unacceptable to the applicant; or, (4) the Office chooses to set a <br />hearing because of a decision requiring Board policy. <br />
