-z- <br /> <br />5. The Board moved to grant a continuance on the La Plata hearing to <br />the April Board meeting. The motion included a stipulation that <br />TCMI, Inc. would perform the work necessary to abate cessation <br />order CO-88-046 by the April Board meeting. The Board reserved the <br />right to revisit the entire matter at the April meeting. <br />6. At the April 26, 1989 Board meeting, Mr. Irwin along with <br />Mr. Michael Bertoldi of TCMI, Inc. again addressed the Board. <br />Mr. Irwin indicated that the work required to abate the cessation <br />order had not been done, due to questions involving right-of-way <br />adjacent to an irrigation canal and accuracy of hydrologic <br />information in the La Plata permit. <br />7. Mr. Tony Sarver, the owner of the land upon which La Plata Coal <br />Company's sediment pond and sediment collection ditches are located <br />addressed the Board. Cessation order CG-88-046 had been written <br />because La Plata Coal Company had been using Mr. Sarver's <br />irrigation ditch as a disturbed area sediment collection ditch. <br />The abatement specified that measures be taken to ensure proper <br />sediment control for the mine site without interfering with <br />Mr. Sarver's irrigation ditch. Mr. Sarver expressed some <br />frustration that the work had not yet been done, and further <br />indicated that his primary concern was that the existing ditch be <br />cleaned out so he would be able to irrigate this summer. <br />8. Mr. Irwin stated that, if ditch cleanout was all that was <br />necessary, his company could perform the work within a short period <br />of time. Mr. Sarver indicated that he would Drefer to have the <br />work done himself and be reimbursed for it. .. <br />9. Mr. Irwin reiterated his company's interest in permitting the site <br />and requested that the Board grant sufficient time to allow <br />TCMI, Inc, to develop and submit a permit application before the <br />bond was forfeited. He indicated that TCMI, inc. had no objection <br />to revocation of Permit C-87-072. <br />CONCLUSIONS G LAW <br />1.
