On December 18, 2006, the Division of Mining, Reclamation and Safety conducted an
inspection of the Hindmarsh Sandstone operation and observed mined and processed materials
stockpiles located outside of the permit area.
The Division believes this is in violation of Section 34-32.5-116(4)(1) of the Colorado Land
Reclamation Act for the Extraction of Construction Materials, 34-32.5-101 et sec . C.R.S., and of
Rule 3.1.5(3) of the Mineral Rules and Regulations of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation
Board for the Extraction of Construction Materials, and of permit conditions.
Therefore, the Division has found reason to believe a violation exists to Permit M-2006-009 and
the Law and has scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the March 14-15, 2007, Board meeting for
consideration of a possible violation. The hearing will be held in Room 318 of 1313 Sherman
Street, Denver, Colorado beginning at 10:00 a.m. on the 14~', and 9:00 a.m. on the 15~', or as
soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. At that hearing you will have the opportunity
to be represented and heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in
violation of the provisions noted above
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/or order the
permit be suspended, modified or revoked. If you have evidence indicating that the possible
violation noted above does not exist or have been corrected, please provide it to the Division as
soon as possible or bring it to the hearing.
