(C.R.S. 1984 and 1994 SUPP.) and Permit No. M-1990-093 Mine Plan <br />and Reclamation Plan Map. <br />Therefore, we have found reason to believe violations exist to Permit No. M-1990-093 and the Law and have scheduled <br />this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board). <br />A Formal Public Hearing will be held at the March 2]-22, 2001 Board meeting for consideration of a possible <br />violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. <br />or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. At that hearing you will have the opportunity to be represented <br />and heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you aze in violation of the provisions noted above. <br />Please call this office on Monday, March 19, 2001, to verify which day your hearing will be held. <br />If the Board fmds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order, assess a Civil Penalty in the amount <br />of $100.00 to $1,000.00 for each day of violation, and/or order the permit be suspended, modiFed, or revoked. The <br />number of days of violation can be minimized by submittal of evidence, as soon as possible, indicating that the possible <br />violations noted above do not exist or have been corrected. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Steve Shuey at our Durango Field Office, 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, <br />Durango, Colorado, 81301, phone no.
