As you know, the above five violations along with three additional violations were issued by the Division on January 2, 1992 as a result of a complete inspection on December 17-19, 1991. Due to circumstances surrounding the holiday season, all eight violations were received by EFCI via certified mail on January 6, 1992. Efforts to abate some of the cited conditions began immediately following the December inspection with information provided by you concerning pending violations at that time. This work proceeded even though the mine was in complete holiday shut down status from December 21, 1991 through January 1, 1992. With the return of all mine personnel on January 2nd, efforts were accelerated to complete abatement steps in a timely manor. The work completed by EFCI to abate certain steps of the referenced violations achieved rapid compliance with respect to the available working days at Southfield. Specific items completed and the time of completion are summarized below with respect to NOV number. NOV C-91-29; Abatement Step 1: All necessary ditch and culvert work was completed at the loadout, excluding the east side perimeter ditch, on January 2nd and 3rd.
