Thank you for your phone call on 6/26(96, regarding permitting issues at Bayfield Pit 1.
The purpose of this letter is to clarify the issues discussed.
Rule 1.10 describes the requirements for Amendments to existing Regular 112 permits.
Rule 1.4.1 describes the general provisions of the application review and consideration
process. Rule 1.4.5 states the specific requirements of applications for Regular 1 12
Operations permits, and permit Amendments.
Regarding your question about the period of time required to complete the review
process, please see Rules 1.4.5131, 1.7.1 and 1.7.4. Pursuant to Rule 1.4.513-, DMG
cannot approve the Amendment application sooner than 30 days following the close of
the public comment period, providing public comments are submitted within the required
time period. The public comment period is described in Rule 1.7.4(2) as being 20 days of
the last day of publication. Rule 1.6.5(1) states that the operator shall publish the Public
Notice, described in Rule 1.6.2(1)(d1, once a week for four consecutive weeks. Rule
1.6.2(1)(d) states that the operator shall commence publication within 10 days of filing
the Amendment application with DMG. The earliest approval date allowed by the Rules
would be 20 days following the last date of publication, providing DMG does not receive
objections to the Amendment application within the 20 day period.
Regarding your question about notification of adjacent land owners, please see Rule
1.6.2(1)(e). Rule 1.6.2(11(e) requires that the operator mail, certified mail return receipt
requested, or personally serve a copy of the Notice described in Rule 1.6.211)(d), to all
mineral owners of the affected land and all surface owners within 200' of the boundary
of the affected land, within 10 davs of filing of the Amendment application with DMG.
Unfortunately, the Notices served previously during the County permitting process will
not satisfy the requirements of Rule 1.6.2(1)(e1.
Regarding your question about importing fill material for reclamation purposes, please see
