G; pt, of"A'u:.;Pa~ r;esoercps <br />I <br />Have you received the letter of May 16, 1978 originally sent <br />from CDM to Ms. Koperski? <br />I am enclosing a copy of a decision which arose in Region 3 <br />of OSM and reflects one Administrative Law Judge's determination <br />of the problem of ground water monitoring. As I read this <br />decision there is recognition of the fact that the State ~ <br />Regulatory Authority has a delegated right to determine the <br />scope and necessity of ground water monitoring and, therefore, <br />if an operator is within the scope of its state permit there <br />would' be no violation of 30 CFR 715.17 as it relates to either <br />surface or ground water monitoring. <br />-~At the point I'write this letter I have not heard from the OSM <br />-."assessment office nor from OSM itself as to how hard they <br />intend to pursue the alleged violation. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />MLK:mm <br />Enclosure <br />DSARCH, MARCH, MYATT, KORB,; <br />& CARROLL <br />By : ~,~ I <br />I <br />i <br />
