Lochhead <br /> <br />TO: ,/ <br />Byron Walker Eae<uove D~recior <br /> hLChael B. Lonp <br /> ((~~f~ , DrvnrnnDvecmr <br />FROM: Erica Crosby(/ <br />RE: Eagle 5 & 9 Mine (C-81-044) <br />AVS <br />Byron, per your request I conducted an AV S check for the Eagle 5 & 9 permit renewal <br />application. The system recommendation and OSM recommendation is `conditional issue.' <br />There are 12 violations noted in the system. OSM, Virginia and West Virginia have settlement <br />agreements with Pittston Coal Company covering the violations of A & D Coal, Black Gold <br />Coal, Elkins Energy, Elkins Coal. Golden Chip Coal, Brothers Coal, E & J Coal, Janice Marie <br />coal and Glory Coal. Please see attached reports for further clazification. This `conditional <br />issue' recommendation should be included as a stipulation to the permit renewal findings <br />document. Let me know when you will issue your proposed decision. We will do another AVS <br />check, and include the appropriate stipulation to the permit. <br />I have a few questions that need to be addressed by the operator; <br />The operator needs to update the identification of interest portion of the permit with the <br />current officers and directors for the owners and controllers of the Eagle Mine. In our <br />conversation, you noted that the identification of interest material was outdated. Please <br />have the operator update this information. I will need this updated information before the <br />next AVS check. <br />2. The OSM/AVS office has labeled Twentymile Coal Company as the operator of the <br />Eagle 5 & 9 Mine in the AVS. If this is the case, then this information needs to be <br />included in the permit pages. If this is not the case, then Cyprus Empire needs to provide <br />the Division with documentation disclaiming this fact. <br />I.et me know if you or the operator have any questions. <br />Enclosure(s) <br />c:\esc\avs\980409 <br />
