Please refer to the Construction <br />Rules and Regulations Sections 1.13 lenclosed) which state that if an operation ceases production <br />for a period of 180 days or more, the operator must file a Notice of Temporary Cessation with the <br />Board. This notice must state the date of cessation, the reasons for cessation, a plan for the <br />resumption of mining, a description of those activities the operator will take to ensure compliance <br />with the permit reclamation requirements and a description of site maintenance activities to ensure <br />compliance with the performance standards (Rule 31. The Notice of Temporary Cessation should <br />be sent to the Division separate from other correspondence. <br />As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may submit a Technical Revision to your permit to <br />indicate that the operation will be intermittently active throughout its life. The technical revision <br />application must include a description of those activities the operator will undertake to ensure <br />compliance with the permit reclamation requirements, and a description of the site maintenance <br />activities which will ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule 31. Rule 1 .13.7 <br />addresses this technical revision. <br />Since the annual report indicated that operations have temporarily ceased, you should submit either <br />a request for temporary cessation or a technical revision within the next 45 days. If the request <br />indicates that the site is sufficiently stabilized, we will approve the request for cessation within <br />sixty days of receipt. If the request indicates that there may be some problems with the site, we <br />will either request more information from you, or schedule the site for an inspection.
