The application appears to meet the minimum requirements of completeness for staff review. Based on the amount of <br />information for water, geo-chemical analysis and engineering that is required for a 112 DMO, the Division is calling the application <br />complex. The complex designation allows the Division an additional 60 days for review in addition to the normal 90 for a normal 112 <br />permit per Rule 1.4.1(7). Therefore, the Decision Date for this application is set for 150 days from the date of this letter which is May <br />8'', 2009. Please note that should all issues be addressed prior to the decision date and after the public comment period ends without <br />objections staff may issue a decision at that time. <br />In the event that there are objections to the permit application, the Division makes a recommendation on the application and a decision <br />would be made by the Mined Land Reclamation Board at the next scheduled board meeting. The hearing would be scheduled provided <br />Nuvemco has submitted all relevant information required by Division staff during the review process to make a qualified <br />recommendation. <br />Nuvemco must start the public comment period within 10 days of this correspondence per Rule 1.6.2(d). The notice shall be published <br />four times, once a week for four consecutive weeks. The comment period shall continue for 20 days after the last date of publication <br />per Rule 1.7.1(2)(a). Please inform staff as soon as possible by phone or e-mail of the commencement of publication and last date for <br />comments so that staff can plan the conversion review process accordingly. <br />Sincerely, <br />G. Russell Means <br />EPS II, Grand Junction Field Office <br />Cc: Sue Carter, Nuvemco, LLC <br />David Berry, Division Supervisor (e-mail) <br />Steve Shuey, Senior Environmental Protection Specialist, North Team Supervisor.
