RE: Prince Albert Mine, Submittal 110d Designated Mining Operation Permit Application, No. M -2011 -040,
Notice of Completeness and Decision Date.
Dear Mr. Williams,
On July 20 2011 the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) received Rimrock Exploration's
application for a 110d, Designated Mining Operation (DMO), application No. M- 2011 -040. An administrative
review of the submission notes application is complete for review and is considered filed as of July 26, 2011.
Please note the review is for administrative completeness and that technical aspects of the application have not
been addressed. Per Rule 1.4.6, the decision date for a 110d is thirty (30) days. However, the Division notes that
the application is a DMO and includes 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 is October 24,
2011.
Rimrock Exploration 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 once in a newspaper of
general circulation in the locality of the proposed mining operation per Rule 1.6.3(3). The public comment period
shall be ten (10) calendar days from the last date of newspaper publication. Rule 1.7.1(2)(b). 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, so the Division can establish the public
comment period.
If you need additional information please contact me at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Grand
Junction Field Office, 101 S. 3rd St., Suite 301, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, or by telephone no. 970.241.1117.
