On April 7, 1994 we conducted an inspection of your mine and found mining and
mining-related activities outside the permit boundaries. We believe this is
in violation of C.R.S. 34-32-109(1)(2) and (7) of the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Act and Rule 2.1 of the Rules and Regulations of the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Board or C.R.S. 34-32-110(2)(a) and Rule 3.1(1) or
C.R.S. 34-32-116(7)(h) and Rule 6.1(2). Therefore, we have found reason to
believe a violation exists to Permit M-81-277 and the Law and have scheduled
this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the May 25-26, 1994 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
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 $50,00 to $200.00 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
$2,580.00 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 contactxBill York-Feirn.
Sincere
