If you are a governmental entity,a financial warranty is NOT required but a performance warranty is required. <br /> COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS: <br /> Compliance with the Act and Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board DOES NOT in any way relieve you of the <br /> responsibility to comply with all other applicable state and federal laws(Section 115(4)(c),34-32.5-109(5)C.R.S.). We recommend that <br /> you contact the following agencies to determine whether you need to comply with their legal requirements: <br /> o The Colorado State Historical Preservation Office regarding properties of historical significance including the need for an <br /> archeological survey,procedures for requesting a file search,and inventory forms to identify structures; <br /> o Colorado Division of Water Resources with regard to water rights; <br /> o Colorado Department of Health,Water Quality Control Division,with regard to the discharge of pollutants into State waters; <br /> o Colorado Department of Health,Air Pollution Control Division,with regard to the need for a fugitive dust permit; <br /> o U.S.Bureau of Land Management or U.S.Forest Service for proposed operations on Federal lands; <br /> o U.S.Army Corps of Engineers regarding a dredge and fill(404)permit;and <br /> o The County Planning Department for the county or counties in which the proposed operation is located. <br /> Section 34-32.5-109(3),C.R.S., requires a mining operator to be responsible for assuring that the mining operation and the <br /> post-mining land use comply with local land use regulations and any master plan for extraction adopted pursuant to <br /> Section 34-1-304,C.R.S. <br /> PERMIT APPROVAL: <br /> An applicant will not be issued a reclamation permit until notified by the Office that this application and the required performance and <br /> financial warranties have been approved. Alternatively, an automatic approval will occur where the Office fails to notify the <br /> applicant/operator that the application has been denied. This decision must be made fifteen(15)calendar days from the date the application <br /> was submitted. However,the performance and financial warranties must be submitted and approved by the Office before the permit will be <br /> issued even if you receive an automatic approval. NO MINING OPERATIONS SHALL BEGIN UNTIL A PERMIT IS ISSUED(Rule <br /> 4.1(2)). <br /> COMPLETION OF MINING: <br /> Upon completion of any phase of reclamation,you should consult Rule 3.1 for reclamation standards and 4.16 for details on how to request <br /> a reclamation responsibility release from the Board. <br />
