On August 23, 1996 we conducted an inspection of your mine and found: A stockpile of material
derived from the pit together with related disturbance located outside the approved permit area
boundaries.
We believe this is in violation of:
Section 34-32.5-JJ6(4)(i) of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction
of Corsstructiors Materials C.R.S. 34-32.5-J01 Et. Seq. as amended.
Therefore, we have found reason to believe a violation exists to Permit M-79-163 and the Law and
have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the November 13-14, 1996 Board Meeting for
consideration of 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, and
you will have the opportunity [o be represented and heard. I[ 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 and may order the permit
be suspended, modified or revoked. 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
