Long <br />Dnivon Director <br />Pursuant to your request, enclosed is all information relating to the above <br />Notices of Violation (NOVs) issued to Mountain Coal Company (MCC) at the West Elk <br />Mine on August 12, 1993 during a joint Office of Surface Mining and Division of <br />Minerals and Geology inspection. <br />MCC requested that the Division vacate all three of the violations. Upon <br />submittal of some additional information, the Division determined that vacating <br />NOV C-93-112 and C-93-113 was appropriate. I have included all supporting <br />information provided by MCC, Division correspondence regarding the basis for <br />vacation of the two NOVe and some additional information located by the Division. <br />The Division did not agree that NOV C-93-114 should be vacated, so a Board <br />hearing was requested by the company. We did not have an assessment conference <br />prior to the hearing. A Formal Public Hearing was held yesterday, October 20, <br />1993, and the Board voted to vacate the violation. A written decision has not <br />been issued. The Division is planning to request a rehearing for the November <br />1993 Board meeting. <br />I believe the enclosed information will be helpful to you. Please do not <br />hesitate to call if you require more information or have questions. <br />Christine E. <br />Reclamation <br />cc: Steve Renner, DMG <br />007NOV.OSM <br />
