Long Drvisiun Dveaor RE: Beech Hill Quarry Pit, Permit No. /tM-81-107, Notice of Possible Violation for Failure to Post Adequate Financial Warranty Dear Mr. Vasquez, On July 22, 1997, the Division of Minerals and Geology conducted an inspection of your operation and found the following: that at this time the additional required band of $9,879.00 has not been submitted to the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG); and, alternatively, performance of reclamation work to bring the reclamation liability under the currently posted bond has not been completed by the formerly imposed due date of October l7, 1997. We believe this is in violation of: C.R.S. 34-32.5-117(4)(b)(I), for failure to keep a fmancial warranty adequate to complete reclamation of a permitted site. Therefore, we have reason to believe that a violation exists to Permit Number M-81-007 and to the Law, and have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land Reclamation Board. A Formal Public Hearing will be held at the December 17-18, 1997 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. At that hearing you will have the opportunity to be represen[ed and heard. It will be rei[erated 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 $(000.00 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 $I 1,421.00 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. If you have any questions, please contact Christina Kamnikar at (303) 866-3567. Since /e/l'y)`_7 /~/' /~/ tic-v .~ - ~7i, MICHAEL B. LONG I ~/~ ~j (~ Division Director ~ ~ MBL/CLK CERTIFIED MAIL NO.
