<br />plan for the property.
<br />
<br />On June 1, 1989, a technical revision (TR-10) was approved which suspended hydrologic monitoring at
<br />the site.
<br />On March 8, 1990, a technical revision (TR-11) was approved that added a sediment control pond.
<br />On July 30, 1990, Kaiser Steel Resources applied for a Phase I Bond Release, requesting a reduction in
<br />the $250,000.00 performance warranty, to a new amount of $100,000.00. The application was deemed
<br />complete upon receipt of the proof of publication of public notice on October 1, 1990. The Division
<br />scheduled and conducted a bond release inspection on October 19, 1990. The request was subsequent]y
<br />approved on December 3l, I990.
<br />On January 22, 1992, a technical revision (TR-12) was approved that removed sedimentation control
<br />ponds A and B.
<br />On November 9, 1992, Kaiser Steel Resources applied for a Phase II Bond Release, requesting a
<br />reduction in the then-posted $100,000.00 performance warranty to a new amount of $37,500.00. The
<br />application was found incomplete on November 24, 1992.
<br />On April 22, 1993, Kaiser Steel Resources submitted an application for a permit revision (PR-O1) to
<br />reduce the permit area and consolidate the permit documents. On June 3, 1993, Kaiser Steel Resources
<br />became Kaiser Resources, Inc., and requested this name change be reflected in the permit revision
<br />application.
<br />On June 25, 1993 and August 25, 1993, Kaiser Resources submitted additional information pertaining to
<br />the Phase II Bond Release found incomplete on November 24, 1992. Following a meeting with Division
<br />personnel on September 14, 1993, at which the Division determined that the revegetation standards for
<br />Phase II release were not being met at the mine site, Kaiser Resources, on September l7, 1993 requested
<br />withdrawal of the Phase II Bond Release request.
<br />On September 19, 1993, the Division proposed approval of Permit Revision No. I. Final approval
<br />occurred on October 1, 1993 following the end of the public comment period.
<br />On October 7, 1993, Kaiser Resources, Inc. submitted an application for permit renewal (RN-02).
<br />Because the operator failed to submit the application by September 10, 1993, the Division, on October 14,
<br />1993, notified the operator that mining operations would have to cease if the new, renewed permit was
<br />not issued before March 12, 1994.
<br />On October 20, 1993, the Division found the application for permit renewal (RN-02) complete. On
<br />December 20, 1993, the Division received the operator's proof of publication. On January 31, 1994, the
<br />Division received a request from Kaiser Resources to extend the decision due date of the Division review
<br />from February 1, 1994 to April 1, 1994. On March 14, 1994, the Division proposed to approve the
<br />application for permit renewal, as the adequacy review conducted by the Division found no issues of
<br />concern.
