Notice of Possible Violation
Dear Mr. Loukonen:
On June 13, 2002 the Division of Minerals and Geology conducted an inspection of [he Lykins Gulch Quarry, Permit
No. M-2000-090 and found the following:
A portion of the rock waste pile located in the South Quarry is outside of the permit boundary area for an approximate
azea of 15 feet wide and 250 feet long. In addition, the operator constructed a staging azea approximately 1 acre in size
outside the permit area to store rock pallets and mining related equipment.
Based on the site inspections and review of the file, the Division believes the Operator to be in possible violation of
C.R.S. 34-32.5-116(1) and 34-32.5-116(4)(1) of the Colorado Land Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction
Materials for failure to perform the mining prescribed by the plan and failure to protect areas outside the permit area from
slides or damage during the mining and reclamation operation.
The Division will scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Boazd.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the July 24-25, 2002 Boazd meeting for consideration of possible violation.
The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 10:00 a.m, on the 24`h
and 9:00 a.m. on the 25's or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. At that hearing you will have the
opportunity to be represented and heazd. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in violation of
the provisions noted above.
If the Boazd finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order, assess a Civil Penalty in the amount
of $100 to $1000 for each day of violation, andlor order the permit be suspended, modified, or revoked. If you have
