MacGuire <br />Lake City Mines <br />Lake City, Colorado 81235 <br />Re: Golden Wonder Mine - File No. 78-91 / <br />Ute Mine - File No. 78-92 <br />Uear f4 r. MacGuire <br />It nos recently come to the attention of our Division that the Golden <br />Wonder Mine is underyoing expansion with plans for the yreatly increased <br />production. Your existing mining and reclamation permit for this <br />operation is for U.6 acres of surface disturbance under a limited impact <br />permit. Tnis pennit also limits you to 7D,000 tons or less of annual <br />extraction. Any expansion oeyond this limited impact pennit is in <br />violation of this pennit and the Mined Land keclamation Act. <br />Please be advised that our Division will plan an inspection of this <br />operation in the very near future. If you are found to be in violation <br />of your pennit, the Mined Land keclamation Board can consider finding <br />such a violation at a reyularly-scheduled meetiny after said inspection. <br />If a violation is found, the Board is empowered to mandate corrective <br />actions and may issue a Cease and Desist Urder for this operation. The <br />Board, after such a violation is found, inay also consider levying <br />possible civil penalties during a formal public heariny. Said civil <br />penalties can be substantial and severe. Section 124 of the Act governs <br />these procedures, and a copy is enclosed for your reference. (You would, <br />of course, be properly notified of all of these meetings.) <br />Although annual fees have been paid for this operation and for the Ute <br />Mine, no notices of intent to continue mining have been received by our <br />Division. These notices should describe the mining and reclamation <br />activities that have occurred at the mine sites and any activities <br />planned for the upcoming year. These should be submitted as soon as <br />possible. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />
