The <br />thirty (30) day period for review of the application and exhibits will NOT begin until all required information is submitted. The Office <br />will then review the submitted information for adequacy. <br />It is recommended that you contact the agencies listed under "Compliance With Other Laws" prior to submitting the application to the <br />Office. You must send a notice, on a form approved by the Board, to the local board of county commissioners and, if the mining <br />operation is within the boundaries of a soil conservation district, to the board of supervisors of the soil conservation district, prior to filing <br />the application. A copy of these "Notice of Filing Application" forms have been attached for your use. You must include proof of such <br />mailings with the application at the time the application is submitted to the Office for filing (Rules 1.6.2 and 1.6.3). <br />Upon filing the application, place for public review a copy of the application, less confidential items, with the clerk and recorder of the <br />county or counties in which the affected land is located. Any changes or additions made to an application following submittal must be <br />filed with the county clerk and recorder. You must also provide the Office with an affidavit or receipt demonstrating that the change was <br />filed with the county clerk and recorder no later than the close of business on the day the change was filed with the Office (Rule 1.8.1). <br />The copy of the application and any changes or additions placed at the office of the county clerk and recorder shall not be recorded, but <br />shall be retained there for at least sixty (60) days after a decision on the application by the Office and be available for inspection during <br />this period. At the end of this period, the application may be reclaimed by the applicant or destroyed (Rule 1.6.2(2)). <br />Prior to the Office making an approval decision (consideration of the application), you must submit proof of publication and proof of all <br />required notices. Proof of notice may be by submitting return receipts of a certified mailing or by proof of personal service <br />(Rule 1.6.1(f)). <br />APPLICATION REVIEW PROCEDURES: <br />The Office shall approve or deny the application within thirty (30) days of filing unless the date for consideration by the Office is <br />extended pursuant to Rule 1.8. The time for consideration shall not be extended beyond thirty (30) days after the last such change <br />submitted. For complex applications, the review period may be extended an additional sixty (60) days. Please see Rule 1.1(9) for the <br />definition of what may constitute a complex application. <br />If the requirements of the Act and Mineral Rules have been satisfied, the Office will approve the application. The Act also provides for <br />automatic approval if no action is taken by the Office by the end of the review period. <br />If the Act and Regulation requirements have not been satisfied, the Office will deny the application. If the Office denies the application, <br />you may appeal to the Board for a final determination by submitting a written request for administrative appeal to the Board within 60 <br />days of the decision date. (Rule 1.4.7) <br />PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL WARRANTIES: <br />A performance warranty and a financial warranty, in an amount determined as a part of the application review, must be submitted and <br />approved by the Office prior to permit issuance. If the applicant is a unit of state or county government, then only a performance warranty <br />is required. Several different types of financial warranties are allowed by the law. Please review Rule 4.0 to determine which type of <br />financial warranty you desire to use. You may obtain the appropriate forms from the Office during the application review period. A <br />financial warranty should not be submitted until a decision on the application has been made. Please note that an application approval <br />does not convey a right to begin operations. You must submit, and have approval of your performance and financial warranties, and <br />receive your copy of the signed permit document prior to beginning on-site mining activity. <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 your responsibility to <br />comply with all other applicable state and federal laws (Sections 34-32-115(4)(c) and 34-32-109(5), C.R.S. 1984, as amended). At a <br />minimum, you MUST contact the following agencies to determine whether you need to comply with their legal requirements:
