Therefore, we have reason to believe that a violation <br />exists to Permit Number M-86-040 and to the Law, and have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Board. <br />A Formal Public Hearing will be held at the March 25-26, 1998 Board meeting, for consideration of possible <br />violation. The hearing will be held in Room 3l8 of 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, beginning at <br />9:00 a.m. or as soon thereafrer as the matter can be considered. At that hearing you will have the <br />opportunity to be represented and heard. It will be reiterated that there is reason to believe that you are in <br />violation of the provisions noted above. <br />If the Board finds a violation at this hearing, it may issue a Cease and Desist order, assess a Civil Penalty in <br />the amount of $[00.00 to $1000.00 for each day of violation, or order the permit be suspended, modified, or <br />revoked. In addition it may set the matter for consideration of forfeiture of the current $9,150.00 financial <br />warranty at a subsequent hearing. If you have evidence indicating that the possible violations noted above do <br />not exist or have been corrected, please provide it to us as soon as possible or bring it to the hearii'tg. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Christina Kamnikar a[ (303) 866-3567. <br />Sincere y, <br />~~~~~'G"Z//' /l~ e ;~~ it ~-~ r..- ~ <br />/vi 3 `-- <br />MICHAEL B.
