The required financial warranty for the Buffalo <br /> Stone Quarry was increased to $48,468, which is an increase of $14,924 from the currently held <br /> financial warranty of $33,544. The additional required financial warranty was due on July 4, 2025. To <br /> date the Division has not received the amount of the required increase. <br /> The Division believes this is a violation of: <br /> • C.R.S. 34-32.5-117(4)(c)(11) and Rule 4.2.1(2) for failure to post the additional required financial <br /> warranty within sixty (60) days of the date of notice of the adjustment. <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 seg.,, and have scheduled this <br /> matter to appear before the Mined Land Reclamation Board (MLRB/Board). <br /> A Formal Public Hearing before the Board has been scheduled during the August 20-21, 2025 Board <br /> meeting.
