RE: Guide to Citizen Participation in the 112 Reclamation Permit Application Process
for ConsUuction Material and Hard Rock/Metal Mining Operations
Thank you for taking the time to be involved in the Stale of Colorado's process of reviewing
applications for new mining operations or amendments to existing permits. The purpose of this
memo is to explain the 112 Reclamation Permit application process for construction material
and hard rock metal mining operations, your rights as either a party or a non-party, and the
jurisdiction of the Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB or the Board).
BACKGROUND
Autho ' .The Minerals Program of the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG or the Division)
and the Board operate under the provisions of the Construction Materials Act if the application is
for the extraction of construction materials or the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act for non-
construction materials such as gold molybdenum and others (the Actsj. Construction materials
include rock, clay, sift, sand, gravel, limestone, dimension stone, marble or shale extracted for
use in the production of nonmetallic construction products. The Acts are available at our Web
site at htto:/h~vww.minino.state.co.us/rufesandrggs.htm, or Title 34, Articles 32 and 31.5 of the
Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS), which may be accessed through the state web site,
www.colorado.aov(htto://198.187.128.12/colorado/IDext.dll?f=templates&fn=fs-main.htm82.01.
The Acts were passed by the Colorado Legislature, and the Board has developed rules and
regulations that determine how the Division administers the Acts. The rules and regulations are
also available on the Division's Web site, and are officially titled the "Mineral Rules and
Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for the Extraction of Construction
Materials" (Construction Materials Rules) and "Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Board for Hard Rock, Metal and Designated Mining Operations" (Hard
Rock/Metal Mines Rules).
