Please find attached, Seneca Coal Company's second request to extend the abatement
deadlines beyond 90 days for NOV C-95-006 and NOV C-95-007. The subject violations
were issued 3/31/95. The 90 day period closed 6/29/95. Abatement requirements for
both violations included submittal of a TR and field implementation of the designs
approved in the TR following fmal approval by DMG. DMG issued its proposed
decision to approve the submitted TR on 7/14/95, but Steamboat Pilot will not publish
our proposed decision until 8/3/95. Public comment period will close 8/14 j95, allowing
14 days for field implementation of the plans approved in TR-22. Seneca's request states
that this extension is necessary to allow time for field implementation following final
approval of TR-22.
Rule 5.03.2(2)(c) lists the five circumstances which may qualify a surface coal mine for
extension of the abatement deadline beyond 90 days. Approval of TR following the
close of the 90 day period is listed as one of the qualifying circumstances. I recommend
approval of the abatement deadline to 8/28/95.
