Lochhead Execwive Dueaor Michael B. Long Division Dneclor RE: Smuggler Mine Application (File No. M-95-097) Response to letter dated November 24, 1995 Dear Ms. Kay-Clapper: The Division has received your recent letter, referenced above, which contained two requests regarding the Smuggler Mine application which was received by the Division on November 21, 1995. In regard to your request for "All information regarding the permit application...", I will convey your request to the Division's administrative section who will contact you in regard to copying the application. Due to the Division's limited resources, this copying will have to be at your expense, but it can be arranged. You should know, however, that the regulatory requirements placed on applicants for reclamation permits such• as this one make it necessary that a complete copy of the application be filed with the County Clerk or Recorder for public review. You may find all the information that you need by means of that copy of the application and, consequently, may not require a copy be made specifically for you. That decision, however, is entirely yours. As for your request to extend the current comment period deadline, such a deadline is set by state regulation as being 10 days after publication of an advertisement of the filing of the application in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the proposed operation. The Division cannot extend the comment period without the agreement of the applicant. The December 4, 1995 date that you mention, however, is not valid because the application received by the Division has been judged to be incomplete. In such case, the applicant will be required to re-publish once the application is complete and a copy of the complete application available for public review. The subsequent 10 day comment period will then depend on the date of the re-published advertisement. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
