RE: Notice of Financial Warranty Forfeiture, Washington International Insurance
Bond No. for $8,167.00, Olathe Pit, Montrose County, Permit No. M-1984-108
Notice to all parties:
On January 12, 2011 the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board) after hearing testimony determined
that the above named operator had not kept a financial warranty in good standing for the referenced
permitted site pursuant C.R.S. 34-32.5-117(6)(a). The Board ordered the permit be revoked, issued a
cease and desist order barring any mining or reclamation activities on site, and issued a civil penalty. It
was also determined that the financial warranty was subject to forfeiture and granted the Division of
Reclamation, Mining, and Safety's request to schedule a hearing for the forfeiture of financial surety
number in the amount of $8,176.00.
Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32.5-118(2) whenever the Board has reason to believe that a financial warranty is
subject to forfeiture, the Board shall so notify the Operator and all Financial Warrantors. The Board
shall afford the Operator and all Financial Warrantors the right to appear before the Board at a hearing
to be held not less than thirty (30) days after the parties' receipt of said notice. This letter serves as the
required notice to all parties.
A formal board hearing will be held during the April 1314, 2011 Mined Land Reclamation Board meeting
for consideration of the forfeiture. The hearing will be held in Room 318, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver,
Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. All parties have
the right to be represented and heard at the hearing.
