RE: Pattern of Violation for Trinidad Basin Mining, Inc.
By memo dated August 21, 1984 from Mike Savage to Fred Banta and Brian Munson
transmitted to me on September 10, 1984 by Fred Banta, the coal staff of the
Mined Land Reclamation Division determined that a pattern of violation existed
at the Trinidad Basin Mining permit area. I have reviewed that memo and find
that the Cessation Orders are still under administrative appeal and thus,
cannot be counted toward a pattern of violation. The remaining six Notices of
Violation, however, constitute an unwarranted failure to comply and a pattern
of violation. Based on this pattern of violation, I am issuing a Show Cause
Order to Trinidad Basin Mining, Inc. as to why the permit should not be
suspended or revoked. It will be my recommendation to the Board that the
Mined Land Reclamation Board suspend that part of the permit which allows
Trinidad Basin Mining to continue to mine coal. The permit would remain in
force in regard to maintenance and reclamation requirements.
