The hearing will be held in Room 318 <br />of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon <br />thereafter as the matter can be considered and you will have the opportunity <br />to be represented and heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to <br />believe that you are in violation of the provisions noted above. <br />If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a cease and <br />desist order, assess a civil penalty in the amount of $50.00 to $200.00 for <br />each day of violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or revoked. <br />In addition it may set the matter for consideration of forfeiture of the <br />$5,000.00 financial warranty at a subsequent hearing.
