RE: Webster Sand and Gravel Unpermitted Operations in Lake County
NOTICE OF FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING
Dear Mr. Webster:
On January 28, 1981, the Mined Land Reclamation Board moved to issue a
Notice of Violation for mining without a permit and a Cease and Desist
Order for your sand 8nd gravel operation located in approximately the SW'a
of the NE1 and the NW'a of the SE'a of Section 16, Township 9 South Range
80 West of the 6th P. M., in Lake County. This order was sent on Feb. 23,
1981. The Cease and Desist Order permitted removal from existing stockpiles.
This condition of the Order was not changed during the Sept. 23, 1981 Board
meeting. During this meeting, however, the Mined Land Reclamation moved to
levy a $10,000.00 civil penalty against Webster Sand and Gravel for mining
without a permit. $5,000.00 of the total civil is to be suspended upon
issuance of a mining and reclamation permit to Webster Sand and Gravel for
the above referenced operation within 180 days of the Sept. 23, 1981 Board
meeting date. The remaining $5,000.00 is payable to "State of Colorado" within
30 days of said Board meeting date.

civil penalties until October 28, 1981 (see below). Please read this enclosed

conditions of the Cease and Desist Order are found on the second page of the
