RE: Comments regarding NOV
On July 19, 1996 NOV C-96-015 was issued to the Yoast Mine (C-94-082). A road
approximately 20 feet wide and 500 feet long was constructed to the proposed substation
location. The road branched off Haul Road B up a hill roughly at a 10% slope. This road
was not included in the permit. The new substation location was also not approved at the
time of the inspection (was filed as a MR, but not approved). The substation pad did not
have any sediment control (originally designed to drain to pond 010, but the pond was not
constructed during the time of the inspection). The violation was written for;
Failure to describe the access road leading to the substation in the permit area and
specify road width, road gradient, surface drainage ditch and drainage structure.
Failure to design access road leading to the substation. Failure to have new location
of substation approved prior to construction. Failure to pass drainage from
substation pad to a pond or treatment facility as approved in the permit.
The violation was later modified to reference light-use roads rather than access roads.
Abatement of the violation required that temporary sediment control be place at the
substation pad location, submit a revision describing and locating the access road and
implementation of the approved design. The violation was terminated on Ju]y 26, 1996.
