RE: South D -20 Pit, Montrose County, Permit No. M- 1992 -102, Notice of Reschedule of Permit
Revocation and Financial Warranty Forfeiture, Washington International Insurance Bond No.
in the amount of $101,175.00, MV- 2011 -038.
On November 9, 2011 the Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board) after hearing testimony determined
that the above named operator has not kept a financial warranty in good standing for the referenced
permitted site pursuant C.R.S. 34- 32.5- 117(6)(a). Per violation MV- 2011 -038 the Board issued a cease
and desist order barring any further mining or reclamation activities on site without Division approval,
and issued a civil penalty of $5,100.00. The Board also determined that the permit and the financial
warranty were subject to revocation and forfeiture. The Board Order directed the Division of
Reclamation, Mining, and Safety to schedule a hearing for permit revocation and forfeiture of financial
surety number in the amount of $101,175.00.
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 was to be held during the January 11^'12, 2012. That hearing is being rescheduled
and will be held during February 8"'9, 2012 Mined Land Reclamation Board meeting for consideration of
the revocation and 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.
