  • Reclamation plans, reports, financial assurances, financial assurance cost estimates, applications, and other documents submitted pursuant to this article are public records, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the County that the release of such information, or part thereof, would reveal production, reserves or rate of depletion entitled to protection as proprietary information. The applicant shall identify what, in his opinion, is proprietary information at the time said information is submitted. The Planning Division shall maintain proprietary information as a separate part of each application and file. A copy of all permits, reclamation plans, financial assurances, financial assurance cost estimates, reports, applications and other documents submitted pursuant to this article, including proprietary information, shall be furnished to the Director of the Department of Conservation by the County of Butte.
