The following identifies enforcement actions taken during this inspection, the
required abatement and date of abatement for the violation, previous violations

Presently the Somerset mine loads out coal that is delivered to
the mine in haul trucks. The mine does not have, documented in
the permit application, designs for the haul road.
Rule 4.03.1(1)(c) requires that:
the designs for haul roads shall be based on geometric
criteria appropriate for the anticipated volume of traffic
and weight and speed of vehicles to be used."
Rule 2.05.3 requires:
Each application shall contain a detailed description of the
specific mining operations proposed to be conducted within
the permit area. This description shall include, at a
minimum, the following: 3 c A description of each
road, conveyor, or rail system to be constructed, used, or
maintained within the proposed permit area. The description
shall include a map, prepared in accordance with 2.10,
appropriate cross sections, and the following: li)
Specifications for each road width, road gradient, road
surface, road cut, fill embankment, culvert, bridge,drainage

and Rule 2.05.3 (8) requires that all plans contain:
A narrative explaining the construction, modification, use,
maintenance, removal, and reclamation of coal processing and
non-coal waste removal, handling, storage, transportation
and disposal areas and structures in the permit area...
Upon consultation with the mine environmental consultant,
reviewing the permit application and with discussions with
personnel of MLRD it was determined that the Somerset mine is in
violation with the terms of the permit and with the regulations
of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. As a result, the Division
issued Notice of Violation NOV 91-013.
Based on the following findings the Division has decided that
stopping the hauling of coal to the dumpstation is not required
by this notice. The Division finds that the violation is not
creating an imminent danger to the health or safety of the
public. That it is not, nor can it be reasonably be expected to
cause significant imminent environmental harm to land, air, or
water resources.
