During that inspection DRMS observed excavation and processing activity <br /> conducted by the property owner which the Division believes constitutes mining without a permit. <br /> Based on the findings of the inspection we believe this is a violation of: <br /> • C.R.S. 34-32-109(1) for failure to first obtain a reclamation permit from the Mined band <br /> Reclamation Board or Office before engaging in a new mining operation as required. <br /> Therefore, the Division has reason to believe that a violation exists to the Colorado Land Reclamation Act <br /> for the Extraction of Construction Materials, C.R.S. § 34-32-101 et sW., and have scheduled this matter <br /> to appear before the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br /> A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the December 12-13, 2018 Board :Meeting for consideration <br /> of this possible violation. The hearing will be held at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, <br /> Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. on December 12, 2018 or as soon thereafter as the matter can be <br /> considered. At that hearing you will have the opportunity to present your defense. <br /> This is an important legal proceeding and you must appear in person for this hearing. If you fail to <br /> appear, an order and financial judgment may be entered against you. In addition,failure to appear <br /> at the hearing may result in legal consequences including, but not limited to, loss of party status and <br /> your ability to seek reconsideration from the Board or seek judicial appeal in district court. <br /> If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order and assess a Civil <br /> Penalty in the amount of$50.00 to S200.00 for each day of violation, not to exceed 60 days, pursuant to <br /> C.R.S. 34-32-123(3). If you have evidence indicating that the possible violation noted above does not <br /> exist or has been corrected, please provide it to the Division as soon as possible or bring it to the hearing. <br /> Any information to be considered by the Board during the hearing must be received by the Division on or <br /> before December 3, 2018. <br /> 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mimng.state.co.us <br /> John W.
