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.

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.
