THE ROLE OF OTHER AGENCIES: <br />As part of the adequacy review process, when an application is received and <br />considered filed, the Office sends a notice of the filing of an application to various <br />local, state and federal agencies. These include the county commissioners and <br />planning and zoning departments, the Division of Wildlife, the Colorado <br />Department of Public Health and the Environment, the Office of the State <br />Engineer, the Bureau of Land Management, and the U. S. Army Corp of <br />Engineers. These and other governmental agencies are contacted on a case-by-case <br />basis for comments on the application as maybe appropriate. <br />THE 112 RECLAMATION PERMIT PROCESS: <br />Upon receipt of an application, the Office makes an administrative determination <br />that the application contains sufficient information for the application to be <br />considered administratively filed. Once an application is considered filed, the <br />Office has 90 days to complete its adequacy review of the application and to make <br />its decision to approve or deny the application. Any application denied by the <br />Office is automatically set for a Board hearing. During the adequacy review <br />process, the Office examines each Exhibit in the application to verify that all the <br />requirements for an Exhibit, pursuant to the Act and Rules, have been adequately <br />addressed. Where inadequacies in an Exhibit exist, the Office sends an adequacy <br />letter to the Applicant requesting that the inadequacies identified by the Office be <br />addressed. <br />Where there are no timely and sufficient objections to an application, only the <br />Applicant may extend the application review process beyond the 90`h day decision <br />date. If an application is not adequate, and the Applicant does not extend the <br />decision date, the Office may deny the application. Extensions beyond the 90`h day <br />decision date may not extended past 365 days from the date the application was <br />considered filed without justification as determined by the Office. If an application <br />reaches the 365`h day, and Office adequacy issues remain, the application may be <br />scheduled for a Board hearing to approve or deny the application. <br />If the Office receives a timely and sufficient objection to an application, the <br />application is automatically set for a Board hearing. Once the Office makes a <br />finding that an application is filed, the Board must make its decision to approve or <br />5 <br />
