the May Day Mine and found that a new unpermitted portal was being constructed.

Therefore, the Division has found reason to believe a violation exists to the Law and has scheduled this matter

A Formal Board Hearing will be held during the November 12-13, 2009 Board meeting for consideration of a
possible violation. The hearing will be held at 1313 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, beginning

violation of the provisions noted above.
If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist Order and assess a Civil Penalty
in the amount of $50 to $200 for each day of violation. If you have evidence indicating that the possible

or bring it to the hearing.
