The DRMS (Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety) is guided by the "Hard Rock / Metals Mining Rules" which are legal regulations. They were passed into Colorado law.
Here is the 200+ page document referred to internally as "the act".
Above the DRMS is the MLRB (Mining Land Reclamation Board). They follow that same set of laws.
The laws are created by acts of the Colorado Legislature.
Above the Legislature is the office of the Governor.
So, writing the Governor is "going right to the top man"! Hope that answers the question. It is a simplistic chain of command, since there are directors and managers in the DRMS and several members of the MLRB.
