The following inspection topics were identified as having Problems or Possible Violations. OPERATORS
SHOULD READ THE FOLLOWING PAGES CAREFULLY IN ORDER TO ASSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS OF THE PERMIT AND APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS. If a
Possible Violation is indicated, you will be notified under separate cover as to when the Mined Land
Reclamation Board will consider possible enforcement action.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Financial Warranty
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: The financial warranty is not adequate to reclaim the site in
accordance with the approved reclamation plan. This is a failure to maintain the proper financial warranty
amount to complete reclamation of the affected lands pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32.5-117(4)(b) of the Act.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The Operator will likely be required to submit an amendment or conversion application
to the division to resolve the existing boundary issue. The Financial Warranty will be addressed as a required
component of the conversion/amendment submittal. The operator shall submit adequate financial warranty as
determined by the Division. If the operator demonstrates to DRMS that the existing disturbance is less than or
equal to 9.4 acres, DRMS will issue a separate surety increase under separate cover.
CORRECTIVE ACTION DUE DATE: to be set.
INSPECTION TOPIC: Off-site Damage
PROBLEM/POSSIBLE VIOLATION: Problem: Problem: Based on observations made during this inspection, DRMS
believes that land in excess of the 9.4 permitted acres has likely been affected. If this is found to be the case, it
would be a possible violation pursuant to: C.R.S. 34-32.5-116(4)(i) for failure to protect areas outside of the
affected land from slides or damages occurring during the mining operation.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The operator will have until August 31, 2015 to or submit a complete application (fee,
completed application form, and all required exhibits) for a permit conversion or amendment to DRMS to
resolve the existing boundary issue, or demonstrate to DRMS via a site survey conducted by a registered
surveyor that the total existing disturbance is less than or equal to 9.4 acres.
If the boundary issue is unresolved by August 31, 2015 DRMS will pursue a possible violation through a hearing
