RE: Tripple R. Pit - Reasoa to Believe A Violation Exists
Dear Ms. Abbott:
On April 19, 1994 and May 12, 1994 we conducted an inspection of
your mine and found:
The existing $7,500 financial warranty inadequate to complete the
reclamation plan based on current site conditions. The Division
requested that Western Earth Movers provide a replacement financial
warranty in the amount of $30,321 or submit an additional $22,821
financial warranty by July 20, 1994. As of July 22, 1994 we have
not received the requested financial warranty.
We believe this is in violation of:
Section 117(4)(b) of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act
34-32-101 et. seq., CRS 1973.
Therefore, we have found reason to believe a violation exists to
Permit M-91-097 and the Law and have scheduled this matter before
the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the August 24-25, 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.
