the developer is already trying to change the mining plan from its original application and current <br />permit. The permit stipulates that the MLRB must be informed of any changes in the mining plan. <br />Our reason for addressing this letter directly to you, with copies to all ofthe MLRB members, <br />is to bring to your and the Board's attention the seriousness of this problem and to ask that you <br />provide the resources and guidance necessary for resolving this issue. In addition to any penalties <br />you may impose, we feel that a stop work order is appropriate until all the permits have been <br />obtained. <br />This division and the MLRB has a responsibility to protect the public from health and welfare <br />hazards. To start mining without: 1) establishing the amount of contaminants being emitted from <br />the operation, and 2) without providing enforceable controls for regulated pollutants, aze issues that <br />need to be addressed and corrected. Until these issues are resolved, the emissions of hazardous <br />pollutants can only be controlled by ceasing operations at the mine site. This stop work order should <br />continue until the operator has obtained an air quality permit from the APCD. <br />We appreciate your immediate attention to this matter. <br />Sincerely Yours, <br />ny ndrus <br />Enc. <br />cc: Bill Alt - MLRB - w/enc. <br />Daniel R.
