The Division is initiating a significant change in the way that permitting documents, reports, and related
correspondence is handled. All documents received or issued by the Division will be electronically imaged
and digitally filed. In the Coal Program, a "hazd copy" of the permit application package for each
operation will be maintained by individual environmental protection specialists, but the electronic permit
package and file will be the primary file available for use by operators and the general public, as well as
DMG staff.
All document imaging will be done at the Denver office. To ensure that this process is implemented as
consistently and efficiently as possible, we aze requesting that you make the following changes regazding
submittal of information to the Division.
For revision applications, bond release applications, permit transfer applications and similaz
applications or requests, please submit two sets tome, at the Grand Junction DMG office, and one set
to our Denver office, addressed to Division of Minerals and Geology, DanMathews, 1313 Sherman
Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203. Adequacy responses and other corzespondence should be
handled the same as initial submittals; one set to Denver and two sets to me m Grand Junction. At the
conclusion ofthe review process, once the Division's decision is fmal,please prepare and submit
one set of approved replacement pages, figures, maps, etc., to the Denver office, with a copy of
the cover letter to mein Grand Junction. In essence, you should follow the same procedwes with
respect to submittal of revision materials to our Denver office that you should be following for the
BLM resource area office.
• Please submit one set of all routine, periodic submittals, including annual, quarterly, and monthly
reports and certifications, to the Denver office, with a copy of the cover letter to me in Grand Junction.
