Re: Gold Hill Mill and Mines, Permit No. M-83-141 - Notice of a Reason to
Believe a Violation Exists
Dear Mr. Tatman:
On August 17, 1994, we conducted an inspection of your mine and found mill
tailings had been spilled on the ground from the mill building and from the
tailings impoundment.
We believe this is in violation of Permit No. M-83-141 and
C.R.S. 34-32-116(7)(c) and (d) of the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act and
Rule 3.1.5(5) of the Rules and Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board.
Therefore, we have found reason to believe a violation exists to Permit No.
M-83-14T and the Law and have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land
Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the September 21-22, 1994 Board
meeting for consideration of possible violation. The hearing will be held in
Room 318 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at 9:00 a.m. or
as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered and 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 $50.00 to $200.00
for each day of violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or
revoked. In addition it may set the matter for consideration of forfeiture of
the $43,277.00 financial warranty at a subsequent hearing. If you have
evidence indicating that the possible violations noted above do not exist or
have been corrected, please provide it to us as soon as possible or bring it
to the hearing.
