s+~ • • Mr. Will Wright -2- April 5, 1982 It is anticipated that the timeframes of the "lead" agency will govern any review and approval process. It should be noted, however, that where a separate and distinct approval document for some proposed activity is necessary from each agency, it is Western Fuels' responsibility to obtain such approval prior to the conduct of such activity. The purpose of this arrangement is to eliminate duplicate correspondence, analysis, and review. It does not presume that one agencies final approval document will substitute for the other agencies final approval document. For example, where the Division approves a Technical Revision to the permit, this approval will not necessarily substitute for the need to obtain or modify a Temporary Use Permit from the BLM. Inspections: Inspections will be conducted to ensure compliance by the appropriate "lead" agency. It is the responsibility of the MLRD and the BLM to coordinate with one another as necessary to ensure compliance. In general, MLRD will conduct inspections within the permit area and BLM will conduct inspections outside of the permit area. Joint inspections may be conducted as necessary to ensure compliance. It is the responsibility of each agency to forward copies of inspection reports to one another and generally keep each other appraised of any problems. Enforcement: Enforcement action will be taken as necessary by the appropriate "lead" agency to ensure compliance. This does not, however, preclude either MLRD or BLM from taking any enforcement action deemed necessary in accordance with respective jurisdictions. Each agency will keep the other informed as to the status of any enforcement action. It seems that Western Fuels' need to have certain areas approved for "staging" construction of the conveyor and railroad Loop should serve as a test case for the working arrangement described above. Since the proposed activities will be conducted within the permit area, the MLRD is the designated "lead" agency. Western Fuels - Utah, Inc. should submit to the Division a request fora Technical Revision to Permit No. C-018-81 and a request for amendment of the existing Right-of-Way, then a request fora Temporary Use Permit. This concurrent request should be made to the Division with at least 3 copies. The Division will then contact the BLM, construct a review schedule including an on-site visit, and take whatever steps are necessary to coordinate the review of this request in order to expedite the decision process. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me.. Since~re~ly~, ~ ~,~q ~ ~// Edward L.
