A separate prospecting notice shall be filed with the Office for each non-contiguous land survey quarter <br />section in which a proposed prospecting activity is to occur. The requirement for separate notices may be waived by the <br />Office for good cause (Rule 5.1.1). <br />ANNUAL REPORTS: <br />Annual Reports are required for all active prospecting operations effective on December 31, 2006. By December 31 of <br />each year that the NOI is in effect, the prospector must file an annual reclamation report detailing the exploration <br />and reclamation activities that occurred during that year and whether prospecting has been completed. For the <br />purpose of reporting prospecting activities, the reporting year shall begin on November 1 and end on October 31.The report <br />must be accompanied by an annual fee in the amount of $86. <br />RECLAMATION: <br />Reclamation shall be completed in a timely manner and within five (5) years of completion of prospecting activities. The <br />time period to complete site reclamation commences on the date that prospecting has been completed, as stated in the <br />Annual Report (Rule 5.1.2(g)). New or significantly upgraded roads, structures, or other features on private lands that are <br />planned to be retained following prospecting may be identified in the NOI submittal and may be excluded from the financial <br />warranty amount at the discretion of the office. The prospector must submit a notarized letter from the landowner requesting <br />that the roads, structures or other features remain on site and demonstrate that it meets the applicable County zoning and <br />code requirements. <br />RELEASE OF FINANCIAL WARRANTY AND TERMINATION OF THE NOI: <br />Upon completion of any phase of reclamation, you should consult Rule 3.1 for reclamation standards and Rule 4.15 for <br />details on how to request a reclamation responsibility release from the MLRB. Following the completion of reclamation, the <br />prospector may request a release of the reclamation responsibility sent by certified mail. The Division will conduct an <br />inspection within 30 days of receiving the request (or as soon thereafter as weather conditions permit). If the operation is <br />located on Public Land or State Land, the Division will coordinate the inspection with the appropriate land management <br />agency (Rules 3.1 and 4.1.5). <br />COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS: <br />Compliance with the Act and Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board does not relieve you of <br />responsibility to comply with all other applicable local, state and federal laws.
