i~ ~ ~ <br /> <br /> <br />~~ ~ 11 <br />' 1 And one other think I want to point out, and it really <br /> 2 goes back, again, to the comments of Mr. Cooley, and 1:his is how <br />' 3 close. What it points out is that we are involved in a very <br /> 4 technical process when it comes to the permitting of a. mine or an <br /> 5 amendment to the permit. <br /> 6 It really does take people with the experience of the <br /> 7 staff and the operators to understand all the technicalities and <br />' 8 the statutes were so constructed that if the operator meets the <br /> 9 technical requirements of the law, the permit is issued. <br /> 10 MR. DANIELSON: You are addressing the permit issue. <br /> 11 MR. COBERT: No, I am making a point. The s.sme exists <br /> 12 thi <br />f <br />i <br />l <br />i <br />i <br />l <br /> or <br />s v <br />o <br />at <br />ca <br />on. We are talking about very techn <br />' 13 violations. I think it's a very comparable process. But I am <br /> 14 going to is the significance of that rock slide and the deposits <br />' 15 off that access road. <br /> 16 I've heard a number of statements that would suggest <br />' 17 that th <br />i <br />i <br />th <br />l <br />ti <br />t <br />ifi <br />t <br />C <br />t <br />l <br />i <br /> e <br />ose v <br />o <br />a <br />ons are no <br />can <br />. <br />er <br />a <br />n <br />y, <br />s <br />gn <br />' 18 recommendations of the staff in terms of the fine that levied <br /> 19 suggests that they are not terribly significant. <br /> 20 But they are indeed a technical violation of the law if <br /> 21 you Pind the violation exists. And I think that is the way this <br />' 22 game is played. That's certainly the way the citizens have <br />' 23 perceived it during the permitting procedures in the past years <br /> 24 and certainly in the permit that's been considered in the past <br />' 25 hearings oP this Board. <br />
