that the Board consider changing the criteria to base eligibility on
the platting process rather than the building permit process. He
presented ATTACHMENT E, a January 9, 1984 evaluation of tF~e subsidence
potential (from the Plkeview Mine) in Colorado Springs. Mr. Case
discussed this matter further with the Board and answered their
questions.
In response to an inquiry from the Board, the Director said the
Division does not want to encourage development over potentially
hazardous areas nor deplete the limited resources which now composes
the fund by extending or changing the eligibility criteria. Staff said
the Division would like to transfer the responsibility of the Program
to an insurance company at some point in the future.
It was MOVED that the Board reaffirm the previous action of the Mine
Subsidence Protection Program by establishing the cutoff date for
permitted properties at February 22, 1989. SECONDED AND PASSED
UNANIMOUSLY (Kraeger-Rovey, Cooley, Stewart, Jouflas, Danni and
Cattany); Danielson not present for the vote.

2,200 acres; 112 open pit gold and silver. Status report on progress
toward detoxification as required by abatement requirement No. 4;
consideration of written Board Order on NOV M-92-026 (continued from
the April 1992 Board Meeting).
Mr. frank Johnson reminded the Board that at the conclusion of the
April 1992 Board Meeting, the operator was found in violation of
certain permit conditions. As a result of that Meeting, Mr. Johnson
said he volunteered to draft a written notice of violation order. He
said the proposed Order, EXHIBIT A, had been presented tc the parties.
Mr. Johnson clarified that the record is closed, regarding this case,
with the exception that the Board requested that the Division provide a
status update, during this Meeting, about the detoxification issue.
Therefore, Mr. Johnson asked the Board to restrict tes~~imony to the
information addressing the status of detoxification, in order to
refrain from reopening the hearing to testimony provided during the
April 1992 Board Meeting.
