Good work everyone! The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety called with a question. During the conversation I asked He estimated that they received 250 letters of protest. He said that the division has until August 17th to respond to the applicant unless they request an extension. He said applicants typically request extensions to allow for time to respond to questions from the division and public. If no extension is requested, their board will meet mid-September to discuss the application and make a decision. He did mention that there is a citizen’s guide to the process on their website which details everything. I don’t know if we’re allowed to attend that board meeting. Would be nice if we can. I am following up on a potential meeting with Chris Pals. Hopefully it will happen this month. John
