Re: Wood Street Gravel Pit
Wi{lox Lane Gravel Pit
Dear Mr. Nauta:
On August 8, 1985 the staff did inspect two (2) gravel pit operations located
in and near Fort Collins, Colorado. At that time, it was determined that the
two pits, one located off of Willox Lane, about 1/4 mile east of Shields
Street and the second located at 832 Wood Street, are run and operated by Mr.
Charles Nauta. The Division does not have any record of existing permits for
either site. According to the Mined Land Reclamation Act, 34-32-101 et. seq.,
all sand and gravel pits within the state of Colorado must be properly
permitted with the Colorado Division of Mined Land Reclamation.
Please check your records for any permit documentation. If no permits exist,
then applications must be submitted.
The matter of mining without a permit will be presented to the Mined Land
Reclamation Board at a formal Public Hearing to consider a Notice of
Violation, Cease and Desist Order, and corrective action.
Therefore, pursuant to C.R.S. 34-32-123, you are hereby notified that a
hearing has been scheduled pursuant to the "State Administrative Procedure
Act", APA, Article 4 of Title 24, C.R.S., far August 21-22, 1985 at Room 110
of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado. The meetings will commence 9:00
a.m. Please contact this office on August 19, 1985 for the specific day that
the matter will be considered.
The hearing is open to the public and shall be conducted in accordance with
the APA. The Board shall afford the operator the right to appear before the
Board with counsel. At this meeting, the Board will consider issuing a Notice
of Violation and Cease and Desist Order for mining without a permit.
Additionally, the Board may order corrective action which would entail proper
permit applications. The Board may set a hearing date to consider levying
civil penalties against you. Please note that as per C.R.S. 34-32-123(2):
"Any operator who operates without a permit or a prospector who prospects
without filing a notice of intent shall be subject to a civil penalty of not
