Please see Rule 1.1(10)for the <br /> definition of what constitutes a complex application. <br /> APPLICATION APPROVAL/DENIAL: <br /> If the requirements of the Act and Mineral Rules have been satisfied,the Office will approve the application. The Act also provides for <br /> automatic approval if no action is taken by the Office by the end of the review period. <br /> If the Act and Regulation requirements have not been satisfied,the Office will deny the application. Ifthe Office denies the application, <br /> you may appeal to the Board for a final determination by submitting a written request for administrative appeal to the Board within 60 <br /> days of the decision date (Rule 1.4.7). <br /> PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL WARRANTIES: <br /> A performance warranty,and a financial warranty dollar amount determined during the application review process,must be submitted <br /> and approved by the Office PRIOR to permit issuance. A financial warranty should NOT be submitted until a decision on the <br /> application has been made. If the applicant is a unit of state or county government,then ONLY a performance warranty is required. <br /> Several different types of financial warranties are allowed by the law. Please review Rule 4.0 to determine which type of financial <br /> warranty you desire to use. You may obtain the appropriate warranty forms from the Office during the application review period. <br /> Please note that an application approval DOES NOT convey a right to begin operations. You MUST submit,and have approval of your <br /> performance and financial warranties and receive your copy of the signed permit document PRIOR to beginning on-site mining activity. <br /> AUTOMATIC PERMIT APPROVAL: <br /> An automatic approval will occur where the Office fails to notify the applicant/operator that the application has been denied. This <br /> decision must be made thirty (30) calendar days from the date the application was determined to have been filed. However, the <br /> performance and financial warranties must be submitted and approved by the Office before the permit will be issued even if you receive <br /> an automatic approval. NO MINING OPERATIONS SHALL BEGIN UNTIL A PERMIT IS ISSUED (Section 34-32.5-109(1), <br /> C.R.S.). <br /> COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS: <br /> Compliance with the Act and Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board DOES NOT relieve you of your <br /> responsibility to comply with all other applicable state and federal laws.
