Bruce Humphries , I_ <br />RE: SHPO/CHS Condition/s(\~to Permits <br />Effective immediately, we will no longer condition permits or <br />revisions to permits to require proof of Colorado Historical Society <br />(CHS) clearance prior to disturbance of a permitted area. Based on <br />AGO Formal Opinion No. 95-1 regarding the need to attach cultural <br />resource survey stipulations to reclamation permits for mines on <br />private property, it has been determined that a portion of the CHS <br />regulations are an incorrect interpretation of the statute (if you <br />would like to see a copy of this opinion, see Carl Mount). <br />From this date forward, we shall provide the Colorado Historica <br />Society, a.k.a. SHPO the following information: <br />1. Notice of a pending application. <br />2. Date by which DMG must make a decision. <br />3. Surface land ownership (whether federal, state, or private). <br />4. If a 111 application, a copy of the contract. <br />If you have any pending applications, or have issued any permits since <br />1991 and the operator has not fulfilled the historic resource survey <br />stipulation, please notify the operator. The operator should contact <br />the CHS to determine if the survey is still required. If the operator <br />>s not required to con uc e survey, ey must get a letter from the <br />CHS stating this, the letter will fulfill the stipulation requirement, <br />and DMG will remove the stipulation from the permit. , <br />C:shpo.chng <br />
