~~ Dear Mr. Hunt:
Upon review of our records, the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety found that
the Corporate Surety held by Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America
(number 19 S 103509947 BC) in the amount of $28,900.00 was cancelled on January 20,
2006. An inspection of this site conducted by the Division of Reclamation, Mining and
Safety on September 4, 2007 revealed disturbance of approximately 20 acres.
Due to the cancellation of the Corporate Surety, the Division believes this action is in
violation of the Act as follows as well as the following Rule:
• CRS 34-32.5-117(6)(a) and Rule 4.1(7) for failure to maintain financial
warranty in good standing for the entire life of a permit issued under the this
article (the Act) and these Rules.
Therefore, the Division has found reason to believe a violation exists to DRMS Permit
M-1982-112 and the Law and has scheduled this matter before the Mined Land
Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the January 9th and 10th, 2008 Board
meeting for consideration of a possible violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318
of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado beginning at 9:00 a.m. on January 9th and 10th
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 Desist Order,
assess a Civil Penalty in the amount of $100.00 to $1,000.00 for each day of violation,
and/or order the permit be suspended, modified or revoked. If you have evidence
