BANTA, Director <br />December 1, 1988 <br />Mr, Vance Mills <br />Trinidad Basin Flining Company <br />Route 1, Box 300 <br />Barbourville, Kentucky 40906 <br />RE: Trinidad Basin F4ine (Permit tJo. C-81-048) Disturbance of Reclaimed Area <br />by Surface Owner <br />Dear t4 r. Mills: <br />Thank you for responding to our letter of September 28, 1988 which discussed <br />options to take regarding the surface redisturbance due to road construction <br />at Trinidad Basin Mine (TBtd). Unfortunately, we have not heard from you or <br />received any further correspondence regarding efforts on your behalf to <br />resolve this matter. Therefore, if substantial progress to+•~ards a resolution <br />has not occurred by December 31, 1988, this item will be placed on the F1LRD <br />Board agenda for January, 1989. At that time the Division will request that <br />an alternate land use designation, which is compatible with the present site <br />useage, be assigned to the disturbed area. In conjunction with this problem <br />is the present state of the drainage system. In constructing the <br />aforementioned roads, the new o~mer has diverted drainage off disturbed areas <br />directly into Del Agua Canyon, thereby bypassing the sediment control <br />structures. This practice is unacceptable to the Division and steps to <br />redirect this runoff through the proper sediment control system should begin <br />as soon as possible. <br />As mentioned in the previous letter to you, the Division is willing to assist <br />you in any way within our lawful constraints to resolve this problem. Please <br />contact us as soon as possible so we can begin to proceed on this matter. <br />YJhen you call ask to speal: to Mike Long, Jim Stevens or myself. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from <br />you soon. <br />Sincerely, <br />.' <br />Anthony J.
