RE. C-JD-8 Mine, Permit No. M-1984-014, Submittal of an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP),
Amendment AM-01, Notice of Completeness and Decision Date.
Dear Mr. Williams,
On June 3, 2011 the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) received Cotter Corporation's
(Cotter) submittal of an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) amendment, AM-01 for the C-JD-8 Mine,
Permit No. M-1984-014. At the time of submission, Cotter had not supplied the required proof of
notices per Rule 1.6.2 (1) (a) and (b), as well as the required fee of $2,300.00. Cotter submitted the
required proof of notices and fee to the Division on June 6 and 7, 2011 respectively.
An administrative review of the submission notes the amendment application is now complete for
review and is considered filed as of June 8, 2011. Please note the review is for administrative
completeness and that technical aspects of the amendment have not been addressed yet. Per Rule
1.4.8 and / or 1.4.9, the decision date for a 112-d is ninety (90) days. However, the Division notes that
the amendment is an EPP which will require additional Division professional staff involvement. By
definition of Rule 1.1 (10), the EPP is considered a "Complex Application". The Division is therefore
extending the decision date by an additional sixty (60) days as allowed per Rule 1.4.1(7). The decision
date would be November 5, 2011. Since the 51h falls on a weekend, the Decision Date is hereby set for
November, 7, 2011.
Cotter must begin the notice procedures within ten (10) days of this letter that meet the requirements
of Rule 1.6.2(1) (d) and (e). The public notice required shall be published four times, once a week for
four consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality of the proposed mining
operation. The public comment period shall be twenty (20) calendar days from the last date of
newspaper publication. The Division recommends that a copy of the notice be reviewed by staff prior to
publication to ensure it meets the requirements of the law. Any errors in publication or its form may
cause the notification process to begin anew. At a minimum, please provide the dates of publication,
once established, to the Division so that the public comment period can be established.
