Staff <br />informed that Board that Mr. Stan Thompson, who represents the <br />operator, was contacted by the Division on July 17, 1992. At that <br />time, Mr. Thompson requested that consideration of this matter be <br />continued to the August 1992 Board Meeting, due to a back injury he <br />sustained in June. Staff sairi that Mr. Thompson was directed to <br />provide this request to the Divi<,„ion in writing, and he agreed. <br />Staff said that as of this morn'ng, the Division has not received any <br />correspondence or contact from Mr. Thompson. Therefore, Staff <br />recommended that the Board consider the matter at this time, and the <br />Board concurred. <br />Staff referenced the synopsis and said that in July of 1990, the <br />operator obtained a 110(2) permit. The Division inspected the site on <br />August 30, 1990, as a result of a. complaint by the State Land Board. <br />At that time, the operator agreed to provide an updated map including a <br />surveyed outline of the site as it appears on the ground. <br />Staff said that on August i4, 1991, the Division conducted another <br />inspection of the site as the result of a citizen complaint. At that <br />time no mine I.D. signs were posted, there were no markers on the <br />ground of the affected area, and the mining and reclamation map did not <br />accurately reflect the intended permit area on the ground. The <br />Division conducted a follow-up inspection on April 14, 1992, and found <br />that no signs or markers were in place at the site, and the Division <br />still had not received an updated map which located the site on the <br />ground. <br />Staff said that during the April 14 inspection, Mr. Thompson stated <br />that he had forwarded a map to the Division, and did not know why it <br />had not been received. Staff raid Mr. Thompson said the signs and <br />markers had been vandalized or' stolen and, at the time of the <br />inspection, there were indications onsite that the operator's claim may <br />have been valid. Therefore, the Division gave the operator until the <br />end of May to abate the two problems. <br />DRAFT <br />Subject To Eioard Approval 12 <br />
