Shelton <br /> Director <br /> Mr. Charles Houchin <br /> 10840 W. U. S. 24 <br /> Green Mountain Falls, Colorado 80819 <br /> RE: Gravel operation near Green Mountain Falls <br /> Dear Mr. Houchin: <br /> After our site inspection Friday, December 5, 1980 and subsequent search of the <br /> files for a mining and reclamation permit, we can find nothing in our records to <br /> indicate that you have applied for or obtained a permit from the Mined Land <br /> Reclamation Board. <br /> All mining operators (including sand and gravel operation) are required by <br /> statute to obtain mining and reclamation permits for their mining operations in <br /> Colorado per the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, Article 32 of Title 34, <br /> C.R.S. 1973, as amended (1976 Sess. Laws --H.B. 1065) . <br /> I am obligated to bring your operation to the attention of the Board during <br /> their December 17-18, 1980 meeting. As it now stands, there are two possible <br /> situations which may occur: <br /> 1. You may voluntarily cease operations immediately and apply for <br /> a permit, in which case I will recommend that consideration of <br /> possible civil penalties be deferred. <br /> 2. Or, the Board will meet to consider this issue as a possible <br /> violation, and, if you continue to mine after receipt of this <br /> letter, for the consideration of a hearing for possible assess- <br /> ment of civil penalties. The magnitude of such penalties may <br /> be found in Section 34-32-123(2) , page 13, of the "Act". <br /> Enclosed you will find an application(s) for this operation. Obviously, it will <br /> be in your best interest, and ours, to apply soon. Your operation will probably <br /> be considered a limited impact operation. The back of the application states <br /> additional information that must be addressed. The "green" Rules and Regulations <br /> booklet you have gives guidelines for this information as well . <br /> If we can be of assistance to you with this matter, please write this office or <br /> call us at 839-3567. We will expect to hear from you soon. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Mike Stanton <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> Enclosure <br /> CERTIFIED MAIL #P201401447 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED <br /> MC/i" <br />
