Dear Mr. Southwick:
In response to your letter requesting a continuance of the above item from September's Board Hearing to
the October 2000 meeting, the Division has decided to continue your item to the October 2000 Board
Hearing. ,
To reiterate, the notice sent to you on August 3, 2000, we believe the activity may be a possible violation
of: C.R.S. 34-32.5-1 16(4)(1) for failure to protect areas outside the affected land from slides or damage
occurring during the mining operation and reclamation. Therefore, we have reason to believe that a
violation exists to the Law, and have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
The Formal Public Hearing will be held during the October 18-I9, 2000 Board meeting for consideration of
the possible 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. At that hearing you will have
the opportunity to be represented and 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 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, in accordance with C.R.S. 34-32.5-123(2)
and C.R.S. 34-32.5-124(7). The Board may also order the Operator to perform certain corrective actions. If
you have evidence indicating that the possible violations noted above do not exist or have been corrected,
please provide it to us as soon as possible or bring it to the hearing.
If you have any questions, please contact Christina Kamnikar at [phone].
Sincerely,
~~
