Reclamation plans, reports, applications and other documents submitted pursuant to this chapter are public records, unless the operator demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Planning Director that the release of the information, or part thereof, would reveal production, reserves or rate of depletion entitled to protection as proprietary information. The Planning Director shall identify the proprietary information as a separate part of the application and shall make the information available only to the Supervisor of Mine Reclamation (Supervisor) or to persons authorized in writing by the operator and by the owner. However, the Planning Director will comply with any order to release such information issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
