The <br /> other defendants are or have been officers, directors, or agents <br /> of Resources. <br /> Resources previously operated a coal, mine under a permit <br /> issued by the Division pursuant to the Colorado surface Coal <br /> Mining Reclamation Act, §34-33-101, et seq. , C.R. S. (1995 Repl. <br /> Vol. 14) . one condition of that permit was the posting of a <br /> reclamation bond in the amount of $3 million. <br /> in 1989 and 1990, the Division issued notices of violation <br /> to Resources and an order to show cause why Resources' permit <br /> should not be revoked. In 1991, the Division and Resources <br /> entered into a settlement agreement which gave Resources the <br /> opportunity to' sell the mine site and specified a schedule for <br /> reclamation of the site in the event the site were not sold. <br /> Resources filed a bankruptcy petition in 1992 and thereafter <br /> attempted unsuccessfully to sell the mine.
