On February 11, 2003 the Division of Minerals and Geology conducted an inspection of the 124`6 Estate Gravel Pit and
found the following:
The operator had mined perimeter slopes at a gradient steeper that 1.SH:1 V in violation of their pemtit requirements
and the Act.
We believe that this is a violation of C.R.S. 34-32.5-116(4)(1) for failure to protect areas outside of the affected land
from slides or damage occurring during mining and reclamation operations.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that a violation exists to DMG File Number M-2001-085 and to the Law, and have
scheduled this matter to appear before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during [he Mazch 25`6 and 2bth, 2003 Board Meeting for consideration of a
possible violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 13] 3 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at
10:00 a.m. on February 25th 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
Ole provisions noted above.
If the Board fords a violation at [his heating, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order and/or assess a Civil Penalty in the
amount of $ 100.00 to $1,000.00 for each day of violation. If you have evidence indicating that the possible violations
noted above do not exist or have been corrected, please provide itrto us as soon as possible or bring it to the hearing.
If you have any questions, please contact Tony Waldron at [phone].
