The Division of Minerals and Geology (The Division) issued a
certain Notice of Proposed Amount of Civil Penalty, and the
operator requested a conference thereon, as authorized by C.R.S.
1973, 34-33-123 (8). The requested conference having been held as
required by law, on September 26, 1996, the Division and the
operator hereby agree as follows:
1. The amount of the penalty shall be $1,500.00.
2. The penalty shall be paid to the Division by the operator
not later than 30 days from the date this agreement is
signed by all parties;
3. Payment of such penalty by the operator shall constitute
a waiver of all further rights to review of such penalty
or of the violation on which it is based.
This agreement shall not be effective unless signed by the operator
within ten days after the closing date of such conference, which
date is set forth below opposite the signature of the Conference
Officer. If not so signed, the Division will fix the penalty at
whatever amount it deems appropriate, based upon the factors
referred to in C.R.S. 1997, 34-33-123 (8) (d).
