Dear Mr. Greenlee:
Attached is the proposed Settlement Agreerent for N.O. V. 's 81-93 and 81-99
issued to the Blue Ribbon Coal Company. Based on the additional information
dated February 23, 1982, which you sent to me regarding these violations,
2 have consolidated the two violations into one. Thus, the N.O. v. 81-44 -
is hereby vacated and made part of N.O.V. 81-43. The attached proposal
of civil penalty includes the activities cited under both of the original
N. O. V, 's. Thus, the following formula is proposed for the civil penalty:
History of Previous Violations - S 150.00
Seriousness - S 900.00
Fault - S 250.00
TOTAL - $1,300.00
The reason for the Seriousness assessment is a combination of destruction
of vegetation, erosion problems and slope instability-created by the unpermitted
activities. Damage did occur. The duration of damage is unknown at this
time and the extent of damage is small at this time, but as a result of the
slope instability, could increase. Based on these factors, it is my judgment
that 5900.00 for Seriousness is a reasonable assessment.
You should review this
to the proposal within
hesitate to call me,
letter and the attached Settlement Agreement and respond
ten dads. If you have any questions, please do not
