made by the Board, regarding the Division providing written
updates on a monthly basis.
Mr. Roger Flynn, an attorney representing the, Peoples
Alternative Energy Services, agreed with the Board's consensus
that it was no longer necessary to bring this matter before
the Board each month. He briefly addressed the issue of the
operator's non-compliance with permitted cyanide
concentrations. It was noted that no other parties were
present for today's Meeting.
It was MOVED that the Board entrust the Division with
continuing the review of the progress at the Battle Mountain
mine, that they be updated, in writing, as to progresses being
made, and that only matters be brought before the Board when
a problem is noticed or a possible violation has occurred.
SECONDED AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY (Cooley, Stewart, Jouflas,
Danielson, Danni and McCannon); Kraeger-Rovey not present for
the vote.

37. FORMAL PUBLIC HEARING
AMETHYST QUEEN File No. M-92-063
1801 North 8th Street
Grand Junction, CO 81501
All persons wishing to give testimony were sworn.
Sec. 10, T14S, R100W, 10th P.M., Mesa County, 0.1 acre;
underground Amethyst and Fluorite. Consideration of a request
for reconsideration of a civil penalty and the need for a
reclamation permit.
Staff presented EXHIBIT A, a presentation form and two,
undated letters from the operator discussing completed
reclamation. Staff said the operator was previously found in
violation for mining without a permit, ordered to obtain a
reclamation permit and to pay a $160 civil penalty.
Staff said the operator had provided proof that reclamation
work at the site has been completed. The operator informed
the Division that he did not plan to conduct further mining at
the site and requested that the civil penalty be dismissed.
Staff recommended that the Board dismiss the civil penalty
previously imposed and the Order to obtain a permit.
