§ 27-952 — Notice of complete, incomplete or denied plan

A. The state mine inspector shall notify the operator that a reclamation plan is administratively complete or incomplete within thirty days after receiving the plan.

B. If the inspector notifies the operator that a plan is incomplete or denied, the inspector shall include a written explanation stating the reasons for denial including recommendations for correcting incomplete or unacceptable parts of the plan consistent with the requirements of this chapter. The operator must refile the corrected plan within ninety days after notification that the previous plan was incomplete or denied or within a time frame mutually agreed on between the operator and the state mine inspector that would not materially affect the safety of employees or cause undue hardship on an operator.
