Stevens <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />Re: NOV 90-032 <br />Permit C-84-065 <br />Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine <br />Dear Mr. Stevens: <br />With reference to the captioned NOV, I am enclosing a request for <br />a settlement conference. This conference is requested to explain <br />and modify one statement made in your "Explanation of Proposed <br />Penalty". It refers to the good faith effort. <br />On the date your "Notice of Proposed Amount of Civil Penalty" was <br />received, and I believe written, the violation had been abated. <br />A total of 74 posts and signs were installed around the entire <br />disturbed area, each sign within sight of the next one. <br />This company has been operating short-handed for a long time and <br />certain items at our mine site may have been overlooked from time <br />to time, resulting in the issuance of an NOV. But, I believe, we <br />always have been extremely responsive in correcting failures, <br />sometimes within hours of requests by the MLRD staff. <br />I do not know if your regulations allow an administrative adjust- <br />ment of the penalty for good faith. If so, then a conference may <br />not be necessary. Please advise. <br />Sincerely, <br />7 <br />/r <br />E. Peter Matthies <br />New Castle Energy Corporation •7x76 Easl Arkansas Avenue.
