Re: Rock Pit, File M-85-082, Possible Temporary Cessation
Dear Mr. Levkulich:
Fred R. Banta.
Division Director
We received and reviewed the Rock Pit Annual Report. The report indicated that the
site has been inactive for at least six months. Please refer to the Minerals Rules
and Regulations Sections 1.6.2 and 1.6.2(2)(a) (enclosed) which state that if an
operation ceases production fora period of 180 days or more, the operator must
file a Notice of Temporary Cessation with the Board. This notice must state the
date of cessation, the reasons for cessation, a plan for the resumption of mining,
a description of those activities the operator will take to ensure compliance with
the permit reclamation requirements and a description of site maintenance
activities to ensure compliance with the performance standards (Rule 6). The
Notice of Temporary Cessation should be sent to the Division separate from other
correspondence.
As an alternative to temporary cessation, you may amend your Dermit to indicate
that the operation will be intermittently active throughout its life. The
amendment application must include a description of those activities the operator
will undertake to ensure compliance with the permit reclamation requirements, and
description of the site maintenance activities which will ensure compliance with
the performance standards (Rule 6). Rule 1.6.2(2)(d) addresses this amendment.
Since the annual report indicated that operations have
should submit either a request for temporary cessation
the next 45 days. If the request indicates that the si
stabilized, we will approve the request for cessation w
request indicates that there may be some problems with
request more information from you, or schedule the site
submit an amendment to the permit, we will process it w
and 112 operations, respectively.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to call.
