Craig Pit, La Plata County, 112 Permit No. M-76-027
Dear Mr. Conger:
The Mined Land Reclamation Act and your mining Permit require that you
maintain a financial warranty in good standing for the entire life of the
permit. On June 16, 1996 the financial warranty for this permit is
cancelling. A replacement financial warranty needed to be filed with us by
May 16, 1996 as noted in recent correspondence to you. To date we have not
received a replacement financial warranty in the amount of $29,229.00.
Therefore, we have found that there is reason to believe a'vlo fists to
your permit and the Mined Land Reclamation Act and have scheduled this matter
before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the June 26-27, 1996 Board meeting
for consideration of violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313
Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter
as the matter can be considered. You will have the opportunity to be
represented and heard, if you so wish. It will be reiterated that there is
reason to believe that you are in violation of the permit and the law,
specifically the following provision:
Failure to maintain a financial warranty in good standing for the life of
the permit as required by 34-32-117(6), C.R.S.
If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a cease and
desist order, assess a civil penalty in the amount of $100.00 to $1,000.00 for
each day of violation, or order the permit be suspended, modified, or revoked.
IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THESE CONSEQUENCES, PLEASE SUBMIT A REPLACEMENT FINANCIAL
WARRANTY AS DESCRIBED IN 34-32-117, C.R.S., BY June 21, 1996.
