The inspection <br />resulted in the issuance of the TDN referenced above for an alleged <br />violation of the Colorado rules. The TDN was sent on April 3, 1991, by <br />certified mail and was received in your office on April 5, 1991, thereby <br />setting the response due date at April 15, 1991. Initially, your office <br />responded, by telephone, on April 12, 1991. The hard copy of the <br />response dated April 12, 1991, was received in this office on April 15, <br />]991. AFO will, therefore, consider this a timely response. <br />The TDN was issued for "Failure to maintain a copy of the permit <br />documents filed with Colorado's Mined Land Reclamation Division at the <br />county courthouse or other public office near the proposed mining <br />operation, 2 CCR 407-2, Section 2.07.3(4)." The TDN references the mine <br />permit and mine plan as being the documents that are not on file at the <br />public office. <br />MLRD responded that the rule cited in the TDN is intended to provide for <br />public participation in the permitting process. Therefore, MLRD <br />interprets the approved State program as requiring that pertinent permit <br />
