On November 26, 1996, NOV C-96-018 was issued to Seneca Coal Company's Yoast Mine
for failure to conduct mining operations within the permit area and implementing a revision
prior to DMG approval. This NOV is essentially aspin-off from NOV C-96-017. NOV C-
96-017 was vacated by the Director due to the convoluted issue surrounding public roads.
The new violation removes all language regarding "roads" and any permitting relating to the
disturbance of Routt County Road 27a.
The operator requested that the original letter for NOV C-96-017 be included in the file as
well as the proposed settlement agreement. I have also included memos from inspectors
and the reasons for vacating the original violation. Please assess the proposed civil penalty
for NOV C-96-018.
Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you.
