Re: Permit No. M-77-376; Canyon Dolomite Quarry; Possible Violation for Failure to
Properly Post Mine Identification Signs and Affected Boundary Markers
Dear Mr. Flanders:
On February 8, 1949 the Division of Minerals and Geology conducted an inspection of your mine and found
You did not have a mine identification sign at the entrance to your mine site and the affected area
boundaries were not clearly marked.
The Division believes this is in violation of:
The Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, C.R.S. 3432.5-101
and the regulations promulgated thereof, specifically, Rule 3.1.12 which requires the mine to be
properly identified and the affected areas to be clearly marked.
Therefore, the Division has found reason to believe a violation exists to Permit M-77-376 and the Law and
has scheduled this matterbefore the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the March 24th and 25th, 1999 Board meeting for consideration
of possible violation(s). The hearing will be held in Denver, Colorado at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318,
beginning at 9:00 AM. both days. As the agenda for the meeting is firmed up, you will be notified as to what
day your item wit l be heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in violation of the
provisions noted above.
if the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may assess a civil penalty in the amount of $100.00 to
$1,000.00 for each day of violation. If you have evidence indicating that the possible violation(s) noted
above do not exist or have been corrected, please provide it to us as soon as possible or bring it to the hearing.
Ifyou have any questions, please contact Tony Waldron at [phone].
