information, since no key to the various symbols was included in the reports and the symbols did not correspond directly to particular "typical" sketches contained in the permit. Proposed Civil Penalty Assessment The penalty assessment proposed by the Division Assessment Officer was: History: $ 0.00 Seriousness: 0.00 Fault: 250.00 Good Faith -0.00 Total Proposed Penalty $ 250.00 History The history component was not disputed. Seriousness The proposed assessment of $0.00 was not disputed. Based on the distance from Colowyo's operation to any dwellings or other structures, the potential for damage is judged to be insignificant. In the event that some problem were to result from blasting activities, it appears that Colowyo would have been able to provide necessary information to document details of the blast pattern. Fault I concur with the proposed assessment of $250.00 for fault, reflecting a low degree of negligence. The Division had originally approved the blasting record procedures employed by Colowyo, but the operator had recently been made aware that the Division felt more detailed sketches were necessary. Although the issue had apparently never been conclusively resolved, it is the operator's responsibility to insure that operations comply with regulatory requirements. Good Faith The record indicates that Colowyo submitted a minor revision containing updated typical blasting sketches, a key to symbols, and necessary text modifications as required to abate the NOV on November 2, 1992, the same day the NOV was received. I recommend a $100.00 reduction for good faith, based on the efforts taken by Colowyo in preparing and submitting the minor revision application as necessary to abate the violation in the shortest time possible.
