New DMR Forms for Annual Compliance By April Balistreri

The 2019 Mining Operation Annual Report (MRRC-2) is due July 1, 2020. Updated forms are expected to be available on the Division of Mine Reclamation's (DMR) Website during the first week of May. Please complete and submit electronic versions of all reports and required fees, using the Online Reporting System to DMR through their website. A Login Code is required to file the electronic versions. The Login Code will be mailed the week of May 1st to each operator and designated agent or can be obtained by calling DMR. Filing electronically will help make the process more efficient since so many are working remotely now. As a reminder, if you plan to file for any exemptions, they must be filed on or before July 1, 2020, to be considered by DMR.

In addition, Lead Agencies will need to use the required Notice of Completion of Inspection (NOCI-1) form and updated Inspection Report (MRRC-1) form after the annual inspection is completed. These new forms went into effect in January 2020 and are required by the California Code of Regulations §3504.5.

For questions: call 1-916-323-9198 or by e-mail DMR-Reporting@conservation.ca.gov When available forms can be found at https://conservation.ca.gov/dmr on the Forms tab.
