RE: Horn Gravel Pit, Permit No. M-83-102, Reason To Believe Notice Divisio~uucc~or
Dear Mr. Thompson:
On August 30, 1995, we inspected your mine and found that mining activities have
occurred outside the permit area. We believe this activity may be in violation of
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-32-101 et sea. and specifically
C.R.S. 34-32-109(1) and (2) for mining without a permit and/or C.R.S. 34-32-
116(7)(h) and Rule 3.1.5(3) for failure to protect areas outside the permit area
from damage during the mining operation and reclamation.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that a violation exists to Permit H-83-102 and
the Law and have scheduled this matter before the Hined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the October 18-19, 1995 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. At that hearing 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 Deaiet
order, assess a Civil Penalty in the amount of $50.00 to $200.00 (or 51,000.00 to
$5,000.00 per day if you are found to be mining without a permit) for each day of
violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or revoked. In addition, it
may consider the matter for forfeiture of the $5,000.00 financial warranty. If you
have evidence indicating that the possible violation noted above does not exist or
have been corrected, please provide it to ua as soon as possible or bring it to the
hearing.
If you have any questions, please contact Gary Curtiss.
Sincerely,
MICHAEL B. LONG
