Re: Possible Violation, Carlton Project/Cresson Mine, Permit No. M-80-244 Division Director
Dear Mr. Hardaway:
On October 23, 1994 we conducted an inspection of your mine and found drain
cover fill was placed on the VLDPE liner without the appropriate QA/QC monitor
and laborers.
We believe this is in violation of Rule 7.3.1(4) of the Mineral Rules and
Regulations of the Mined Land Reclamation Board and page 1400.1-2 and .l-3 of
the "Earthworks Technical Specifications and CQA Plan" for the Cresson
Project. We believe this is a failure to provide adequate quality
assurance/quality control and failure to observe backfilling operations and
monitor and document material placement.
Therefore, we have found reason to believe a violation. exists to Permit
M-80-244 and the Law and have scheduled this matter before the Mined Land
Reclamation Board.
A Formal Public Hearing will be held during the December 14-15, 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 $1,000.00 to $5,000.00
for each day of violation or order the permit be suspended, modified or
revoked. 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 Gary Curtiss.
Sincerely
MICHAEL B. L G
Division Director
