Long <br />Division Director <br />RE: Southway Pit (Permit M-81-153) Response to letter dated April <br />3, 1997 regarding Division inspection on 3/13/97. <br />Dear Ms. Southway: <br />As indicated above, I received your letter regarding the Southway <br />Pit near Fort Garland and Compliance Problem 2 which was identified <br />during my inspection on 3/13/97. You indicated in your letter that <br />two of the four ~ilternative actions I listed for you, ie. <br />reclamation of the pit or filing a Notice of Temporary Cessation, <br />were not practical ~~onsidering the circumstances under which the <br />pit is operated. That may be true. You did not, however, indicate <br />that it was not possible to implement one of the other alternative <br />corrective actions, eg. corrective action 3 which involves <br />modifying the permit application as specified under Rule 1.13.5 (6) <br />or corrective action 4, substituting for a Notice of Temporary <br />Cessation by meeting the requirements of Rule 1.13.7. <br />So far as I am able to determine from the approved permit <br />application for the Southway Pit near Fort Garland, the application <br />does not provide fo>- the extended periods of inactivity that you <br />have reported for the pit. There are several means of dealing with <br />such a compliance i:;sue, four of which I indicated to you in my <br />inspection report. Please undertake one of those by the corrective <br />action date of 5/1/97 as indicated in the inspection report or <br />contact me if additional time is, for some reason, required. <br />If you have any questions on the above, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />- Aw(r-~ G~i'L~cti~o <br />James C. Stevens <br />Sr. Specialist <br />97N028 <br />
