Or. Admin. R. 141-071-0475 - Application Approval
(1)
Upon receipt of a mineral prospecting permit application, the Division shall
cause copies of the application to be sent to the surface rights holder and
affected state agencies, including the Department of Environmental Quality,
Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, Public Utility Commissioner,
State Fish and Wildlife Commission, Department of Energy, State Historic
Preservation Office, and Land Conservation and Development Commission and to
such other agencies or persons as the Division deems appropriate.
(2) Each agency shall be requested to respond
within 30 days by making a recommendation as to whether the permit should be
granted. Agencies may recommend conditions to be contained in the mineral
prospecting permit to satisfy requirements within their respective statutory
jurisdictions. Applicants will be advised of conditions recommended by state
agencies and, where advisable, a conference between agencies and applicants
will be held.
(3) The Division
shall make such investigation as it considers necessary.
(4) The Division or any state agency holding
the surface rights may refuse to grant a permit for exploration of mineral
rights under the jurisdiction of the Division of State Lands if it has reason
to believe that a mineral lease could not be issued because of considerations
of environmental quality or other public interest.
