1. When a record of survey filed with the county recorder by a professional land surveyor shows the location of a mining claim, the county recorder shall compare that record of survey to the county map of mining claims and ascertain whether the location of the claim is accurate according to the record of survey. 2. If the county map inaccurately shows the location of the claim, the county recorder shall propose a change to the county map and mail a notice to all persons whose claims would be affected by the proposed change. 3. The notice must include: (a) A description of the proposed change; and (b) A statement advising the owner of the claim that the proposed change will be made unless the owner makes a written request to the county recorder for a hearing within 30 days. 4. If a request for a hearing is not received by the county recorder within 30 days after he or she mailed the notice, the county recorder shall make the proposed change to the county map. 5. Upon receipt of a request for a hearing the county recorder shall request the board of county commissioners to hold a hearing on the proposed change. 6. Upon receipt of such a request the board of county commissioners shall, after notifying the county recorder and the owner of the mining claim at least 30 days in advance, hold a hearing and determine whether the proposed change is to be made.
