Mr. Braun,
The Division was near completing the second adequacy review for the subject permit application today
(9/26/2014)when the previously requested rock testing report was received (at approximately 3:00 pm on
9/26/2014). The rock testing report was first requested in the Preliminary Adequacy Review (see Comment #3)
dated September 8, 2014. The response to the Division's first adequacy was received on September 17, 2014 at
12:15 pm (four hours and 45 minutes before the decision date at the time (9/17/2014 at 5:00 pm) and was
incomplete in that the requested rock testing report was not included.
The Division strives to provide timely feedback on all permitting actions, but does not appreciate needing to make
hasty decisions as this can potentially lead to errors in the process.
Due to: a)the the incomplete September 17, 2014 response and the fact that the Division was trying to determine
if the the Mineral Mountain Project should be a designated mining operation (DMO); and b) the Applicant is
permitting over two NOls and an approved mine reclamation permit, the Division deemed the application
"complex" allowing an additional 60 days to adequately review the application.
Due to the late submittal of the rock testing report, the Division will need extra time to review this new information
prior to completing its second adequacy review. As such, this second adequacy letter will not be sent today.
