Carr Colorado Judicial Center <br /> 1300 Broadway, 10" Floor <br /> Denver, CO 80203 <br /> Ladies and Gentlemen: <br /> As you know, a broad cease and desist order was issued in this matter on July 12, 2019 <br /> (the "Cease and Desist Order", or"Order". In addition to prohibiting irrigation within the <br /> permit area,the Order appeared to also prohibit mining, process, shipping and other <br /> activities on site. On July 26, the Board voted to approve a resolution which continued <br /> the Cease and Desist as to defined irrigation activities. The Order is not yet in final form, <br /> but did not prohibit the continuation of mining, processing and shipping activities in the <br /> existing permit area. <br />
