Box 236 <br /> Topeka, KS 66601 <br /> Re: Reason to Believe a Violation Exists and Notice of Board Hearing <br /> Stratton Sand and Gravel; Permit No. P-2024-010 <br /> Dear Mr. Anderson: <br /> This letter is a follow up to the email notice sent to Mid-States Materials, LLC. on June 27, 2025, <br /> regarding the requirement for a complete substitute bond package for the Stratton Sand and Gravel <br /> NOI. As you know, Zurich Surety (Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland) informed the Division in <br /> its April 22, 2025 letter, that they are cancelling the bond in its entirety, effective July 22, 2025. <br /> The required financial warranty for the Stratton Sand and Gravel NOI is $10,000.00, and to date, the <br /> Division has not received a substitute bond package. <br /> The Division believes this is a violation of: <br /> • C.R.S. 34-32.5-117(6)(a) and Rule 4.2.1(1) for failure to maintain the required financial warranty <br /> at a level which reflects the actual current cost of fulfilling the requirements of the Reclamation <br /> Plan. <br /> Therefore, the Division has reason to believe that a violation exists to the Colorado Land Reclamation <br /> Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, C.R.S. § 34-32.5-101 et sea., and have scheduled this <br /> matter to appear before the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board). <br /> A Formal Public Hearing before the Board has been scheduled during the August 20, 2025 Board <br /> meeting. The hearing will be held at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, beginning at <br /> 9:00 a.m. on August 20 or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered.
