The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, <br />beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered and you will have the opportunity <br />to be represented and heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in violation of <br />the provisions noted above. <br />If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a cease and desist order, assess a civil penalty in the <br />amount of $100.00 to $1000.00 for each day of violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or <br />revoked. In addition it may set the matter (or consideration of forfeiture of the $72,818.50 financial warranty <br />at a subsequent hearing. If you have evidence indicating that the possible violations noted above do not exist <br />or have been corrected, please provide it to us as soon as possible or bring it to the hearing. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Gary S.
