RE: May Day Idaho Mine Complex, Permit No. M- 1981 -185, Reason to Believe a Violation Exists
and Notice of Board Hearing
Dear Mr. Rosen:
On July 17, 2013 the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board (Board) affirmed a stipulated agreement
executed by the Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS) and Wildcat Mining Corporation
(WMC) and ordered that WMC complete repair and stabilization of the new access road, pursuant to the
terms approved through TR -2, no later than September 30, 2013. Copies of all relevant stipulation
documents are included as Attachments 1 -4 to the September 30, 2013 Inspection Report.
On September 30, 2013 the Division conducted an inspection of the site and found that repair and
stabilization of the new access road had not yet commenced. The Division believes this a violation
pursuant to C.R.S. 34 -32 -124 of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act (Act) for failure to comply
with the conditions of a Board order. Therefore the Division has reason to believe that a violation exists
to Permit No. M- 1981 -185 and the Law, and has scheduled this matter before the Board.
A Hearing will be held during the November 13 -14, 2013 Board meeting for consideration of a possible
violation. The hearing will be held at 13'. 3 Sherman Street, Room 318, Denver, Colorado, beginning at
9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. You will have the opportunity to be
represented and heard at the hearing.
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 may order the permit to be
suspended, modified or revoked. In addition, the Board may set the matter for consideration of forfeiture
of the $204,562.00 financial warranty amount held by the Division for Permit No. M -1981 -185 at a
subsequent Board hearing. If you have evidence indicating that the possible violation(s) noted above do
not exist or have been corrected, please provide it to the Division as soon as possible or, alternatively,
bring it to the Board hearing.
Following the hearing, all parties have an opportunity to review and comment on a draft of the Board's
order before it becomes final. If you wish to do so, you must provide the Board with a written request to
review the draft order prior to or at the time of your hearing, or you must inform the Board orally during
the hearing that you request to review the draft order. You must include your mailing address and, if
possible, a fax or email address. You will be provided a copy of the draft order by e -mail for your review
