RE: Seneca II-W, Permit C-82-057, NOV Nos. C-9.5-006 and C-95-007
Dear Mr. Erickson:
This correspondence is being submitted to comply with the abatement
of NOV Nos. C-95-006 and C-95-007. The field remedial actions
necessary to abate both violations have been extended to May 4th,
due to inclement weather and muddy field conditions.
In the NOVS the Division requested that a Technical Revision be
submitted as part of the abatement process. Seneca believes that
for both violations a Technical Revision is not necessary or
warranted. we feel that the following justifications will prove our
point. An abatement plan was submitted for NOV C-93-135 on October
13, 1993. This abatement called for a plan to minimize erosion and
siltation from the haul road, This plan was approved by the
Division on October 18, 1995. No Technical Revision was required
for the abatement of that particular NOV. The two NOVS just issued
were for similar circumstances. At six different sites within the
Seneca ii-w permit area, erosion and siltation exceeded what was
allowed by the regulations. The abatement plans for each area will
be described later in this letter.
The areas which were included in the NOVS occurred along haul road
ditches and culverts, and from an area of rough graded spoil and
recent reclamation activity. The Seneca II-W permit mentions in the
following sections, the types of alternate sediment control
measures which would be utilized to prevent additional erosion and
siltation throughout various locations of the entire permit area:
