Section 11.86.125. Failure to comply.

	(a)  The failure on the part of a mining lessee or locator to comply strictly with the provisions of this chapter and the applicable statutes does not invalidate the mining lessee's or locator's rights if it appears to the satisfaction of the director that the locator or lessee complied as nearly as possible under the circumstances and that conflicting rights are not asserted by another person. Upon written application, the director may issue a certificate of substantial compliance that sets out the specific failure on the part of the lessee or locator and the relief granted. The certificate does not cure any defect not specifically referred to in the certificate. The certificate becomes effective when recorded in the recording district where the located or leased land is located.  
	(b)  An application for a certificate of substantial compliance must include the name and address of the mining lessee or locator, the name of the location or lease, any serial number assigned by the department to the location or lease, an application fee as set out in 11 AAC 05.010(a)(9)(G), a statement of the specific failure to comply the reasons for the failure, and any other information the director considers necessary to determine the circumstances of the case.
