The annual fee required for your permit is $518.00. The Division received your annual report and map <br />submittal on March 18, 2020. However, your annual fee submittal was returned due to no bank <br />account/unable to locate account. As you were noticed in a letter sent by the Division on April 9, 2020, a <br />$25 fee has been assessed for the returned check. Therefore, the total amount due at this time is S543.00. As <br />of the date of this letter, the Division has not received your annual fee. <br />Therefore, the Division has reason to believe this is a violation of C.R.S. 34-32-116 (3) and (4) et seq. and <br />the provisions of your Permit No. M-2018-057, and has scheduled this matter to appear before the Mined <br />Land Reclamation Board (Board), pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32-124. <br />A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the June 24-25, 2020 Board meeting located in Room 318 of <br />1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be <br />considered. You will have the opportunity to present your defense during the hearing. <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 money judgment may be entered against you. In addition, failure to appear at <br />the hearing may result in legal consequences including, but not limited to, loss of party status and your <br />ability to seek reconsideration from the Board or seek judicial appeal in district court. <br />If you submit the past due annual fee (plus the $25 returned check fee) in the total amount of $543.00 by <br />June 19, 2020, this matter will be withdrawn from Board consideration and the scheduled hearing will be <br />vacated.
