I have reviewed your August 4, 1993 correspondence in which you request that the
above-referenced Cessation Order be vacated. In the request, you have raised a number of
issues. Of particular relevance are the issues regarding Energy Fuels good faith belief that
the Division had terminated the violation, and that good cause for issuance of the
Cessation Order did not exist.
It is apparent that Energy Fuels had attempted to appropriately abate the violation. Energy
Fuels notified the Division staff prior to the abatement deadline that it had completed the
abatement procedures. Further, it is apparent that the Division staff did present the
implication that the violation had been abated. Thus, Energy Fuels was under the
impression that the Division had approved of the abatement measures taken.
Given the circumstances surrounding the abatement and termination of the subject
violation, I would agree that good cause for issuance of a Failure to Abate Cessation Order
was not demonstrated by the Division. Therefore, based upon the foregoing facts and the
recommendation of the Assessment Conference Officer, I hereby vacate Cessation Order
C-93-088.
Sincerely,
Michael B. Long
Director
