RE: Yampa Mining Company Correspondence of July 16, 1984 and July 18, 1984
Regarding Notice of Violation C-84-137
In correspondence from Yampa Mining Company to the Division dated
July 16, 1984 and July 18, 1984, Yampa Mining has submitted what they believe
is evidence that Notice of Violation C-84-137 should be vacated, because it is
felt that the haul road certification for which the violation was written is
present in the approved permit application. These haul road certifications
are to be found in Exhibits I, J, K and L.
During the course of the July 17, 1984 inspection Roy Cox and I discussed the
requirements for professional certification for haul roads and other
structures with Mr. Larry Jackson of Yampa Mining.
Subsequent to that discussion Mr. Jackson researched the permit application
and feels that the certification was previously submitted and accepted by the
Division in the prior mentioned exhibits. Additionally, Yampa Mining has
submitted a recertification that the haul road has been constructed as
designed and certification was performed by a registered professional engineer
for Yampa Mining Company.
I have reviewed the exhibits cited by the operator as being professional
certifications. The exhibits cited are maps and figures for road
classification and location, typical sections for haul roads, the water
control plan 1980-1985, and the mine permit area and load-out facilities.
Nowhere on any of these exhibits is there a statement by the registered
professional engineer that these represent as-built certifications and that
they are in conformance with the approved designs in the application. It is
therefore my opinion that these exhibits leave some doubt as to whether they
are statements of certification, and are therefore in compliance with the
requirements of Rule 4.03.1(1)(d).
