Re: Asphalt Specialties Co., Inc., Nelson Mining Resource, File No. M- 2005 -059, Temporary Cessation
Request
Dear Mr. Laird:
On August 16, 2011 the Division approved your request for Temporary Cessation status for the Nelson Mining
Resource.
Please be aware that Section 1.13.5(1)(a) of the Construction Materials Rules and Regulations and the
Hard Rock/Metal Mining Rules and Regulations state that 'Initial period shall be the first five years of Temporary
Cessation beginning with the 180 day period of production cessation." In this case, based on information
provided in the request for Temporary Cessation, Temporary Cessation will expire on February 1, 2014
Rules 1.13.8 and 1.13.9 state that:
1.13.8 A permit granted pursuant to Rules shall continue in effect as long as:
(a) the mining operation is resumed within five (5) years of the beginning of Temporary Cessation;
or
(b) the Operator files a report requesting an extension of the period of Temporary Cessation with the Board
stating the reasons for the continuation of those factors necessary to, and the plans for, resumption.
1.13.9 Ten Year Limitation for Temporary Cessation
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Division.
