- iii - <br />PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL WARRANTIES: <br />The application MUST include a fully-executed performance warranty (enclosed with this application), and submitted with the application. <br />The application MUST also include a fully executed financial warranty in the amount of $2,500 per acre of affected land (a fraction of an <br />acre is counted as one acre for calculation). The law and regulations allow for several different types of financial warranty. Please review <br />Rule 4 of the Rules to determine what type of financial warranty you desire to use. Appropriate forms are available by request from the <br />Office. If you are a governmental entity, a financial warranty is NOT required but a performance warranty is required. <br />COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS: <br />Compliance with the Act and Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board DOES NOT in any way relieve you of the <br />responsibility to comply with all other applicable state and federal laws (Section 115(4)(c), 34-32.5-109(5) C.R.S.). We recommend that <br />you contact the following agencies to determine whether you need to comply with their legal requirements: <br />o The Colorado State Historical Preservation Office regarding properties of historical significance including the need for an <br />archeological survey, procedures for requesting a file search, and inventory forms to identify structures; <br />o Colorado Division of Water Resources with regard to water rights; <br />o Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Division, with regard to the discharge of pollutants into State waters; <br />o Colorado Department of Health, Air Pollution Control Division, with regard to the need for a fugitive dust permit; <br />o U.S. Bureau of Land Management or U.S. Forest Service for proposed operations on Federal lands; <br />o U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding a dredge and fill (404) permit; and <br />o The County Planning Department for the county or counties in which the proposed operation is located. <br />Section 34-32.5-109(3), C.R.S., requires a mining operator to be responsible for assuring that the mining operation and the <br />post-mining land use comply with local land use regulations and any master plan for extraction adopted pursuant to <br />Section 34-1-304, C.R.S. <br />PERMIT APPROVAL: <br />An applicant will not be issued a reclamation permit until notified by the Office that this application and the required performance and <br />financial warranties have been approved. Alternatively, an automatic approval will occur where the Office fails to notify the <br />applicant/operator that the application has been denied. This decision must be made fifteen (15) calendar days from the date the application <br />was submitted. However, the performance and financial warranties must be submitted and approved by the Office before the permit will be <br />issued even if you receive an automatic approval. NO MINING OPERATIONS SHALL BEGIN UNTIL A PERMIT IS ISSUED (Rule <br />4.1(2)). <br />COMPLETION OF MINING: <br />Upon completion of any phase of reclamation, you should consult Rule 3.1 for reclamation standards and 4.16 for details on how to request <br />a reclamation responsibility release from the Board.
