§ 8.40.070. Public records—Proprietary information.

Reclamation plans, reports, applications and other documents submitted pursuant to this chapter are public records, unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the town 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 have the right to identify what, in his opinion, is proprietary information. The town shall identify proprietary information as a separate part of each application. A copy of all permits, reclamation plans, reports, applications and other documents submitted pursuant to this chapter, including proprietary information, shall be furnished to the State Geologist by the town. Proprietary information shall be made available to persons other than the State Geologist only when authorized by the mine operator and by the mine owner in accordance with Section 2778, California Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1975. (Ord. 16 §§1(G)(part), 2(B)(part), 1980: county code §13-107)
