This is incorrect. No permit has been approved to date for this <br />project. The application M-2008-012 was accepted as a 110(2) on April 15, 2008. However the <br />application was amended on April 13, 2009 (two day s prior to the 365 day review deadline for <br />the 110(2)) to a 112d application due to changes in the law per HB-08-1161 that made all <br />uranium mines Designated Mining Operations. All accepted public notices have referred to <br />the current 112d permit application under review. <br />Notice Review: <br />Per Rule 1.6.2 <br />(a) Notice to the Board of County Commissioners and Soil Conservation-April 15, 2009 <br />(b) Posted Notices at the location of the proposed mine site - observed by Division May <br />2009 <br />(c) Copy of application at County Clerk - 4-15-09 <br />(d) Publication within 10 days in a local newspaper.
