After the forfeiture of the permit the same deficiency has existed with no repair, and the Diversion <br /> does not meet DRMS standards for final reclamation termination or for bond refund to permittee. <br /> W.D. Corley, Jr. <br /> The Corley Co. <br /> On Jun 18, 2021, at 8:56 AM, Trujillo- DNR, Zach <zach.trujillo@state.co.us>wrote: <br /> Dr. Corley, <br /> The Division has received your request for a formal public hearing in front of the Board regarding the <br /> Southfield Mine (C-1981-014) Bond Release SL-5. As the SL-5 process continues, the Division will ensure <br /> to notify you in regards to the SL-5 inspection per Rule 3.03.2(2)as well as the Division's proposed decision <br /> per Rule 3.03.2(5).As part of the request for a formal public hearing, 3.03.2(6)states that, "[t]he request for <br /> an adjudicatory hearing must state with specificity the reasons why the hearing is requested and must be <br /> received within thirty(30)days of the first publication of the proposed decision by the Division." <br /> Additionally, as inquired about in your June 10, 2021 email, all remaining bond monies after a site <br /> receives termination of jurisdiction will be returned to the permittee.
