Walther E.~eculive Director Michael B Long DIV~SIpn Director RE: 6/22/99 Board Decision and Example Public Notices for TR-02, Dalton Land and Cattle Pit, Permit No. M-87-064. Dear Mr. (Dillon: On 6/22/ff9, the Board denied Sandco's petition for Declaratory Order, requesting exemption from the public notification process, typically associated with permit Amendments but required by DMG for TR-02. Official notification of the Board's decision and order will follow under separate mailing. However, the Board approved Sandco's request to update the post-mining land use for the processing and stockpiling area, to conform with county zoning conditions, as a Technical Revision subject to the following two conditions: 1. Sarldco must waive its right to a decision on the TR within the standard 30 day review period; and 2. Sarldco must satisfy the public, agency and landowner notice process that attends submittal of an Amendment, including the four weeks of publication with the standard public comment period, as described in Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.5. Individuals or 2lggrieved parties who are opposed to DMG's decision on the TR may request a hearing before the Board through the appeals process. The Boardl also requested that staff assist Sandco in the preparation of the public notices. Therefore: staff have enclosed example notices for the following four required notices: the Board of County Commissioners; the Board of Supervisors of the local Soil Conservation District; the public notice to be published in a newspaper of local circulation and provided to surface and mineral owners of the affected lands and surface owners of lands located within 200' of the boundary of affected lands; and the notice required to be posted at the mine site. These notices are required by Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.5. Pursuant to Rule 1.6.2(1)(c1, Sandco is also required to provide a complete copy of the application for TR-02 to the County Clerk or Recorder's office, for public review.
