Also, <br />the recent forfeiture of bonds on the GEC permit does not <br />relieve the permittee of his responsibility for those <br />violations that existed prior to the bond forfeiture. <br />Based on the above findings, the AFO will reinspect the GEC <br />permit area. If the reinspection reveals the conditions <br />contained in the Ten-Day Notice to still exist, a Federal <br />Notice of Violation will be issued in accordance with 30 CFR <br />843.12(a)(2). <br />If you have any questions concerning this matter, please <br />contact Stephen Rathbun at (505) 766-1486. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~~ ~ <br />A-CTI N6 Pd~[Z <br />Robert H. Hagen, Director <br />Albuquerque Field Office <br />
