By January 16, 1996 the increased reclamation bond for your mine was not posted. The Division of Minerals
and Geology currently holds $72,818.50. You were notified on November 17, 1995, via certified mail, that
a new total bond amount of $175,815.00 was due no later than January 16, 1996.
Since the increased bond has not been posted, we believe this is in violation of C.R.S. 34-32-117(4)(b)(q for
failure to post sufficient financial warranty to assure that reclamation can be Completed on affected lands.
Therefore, we have found reason to believe a violation exists to Permit M-83-084 and the Law and have
scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the February 21-22, 1996 Board meeting for consideration of
possible violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1373 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
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 $1000.00 for each day of violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or
revoked. In addition it may set the matter for consideration of forfeiture of the $72,818.50 financial warranty
at a subsequent hearing. 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 Gary S. Curtiss.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL B. LO
