Tom indicated that Dr. Corley was very argumentative and disagreeable. Tom felt there was no alternative but to reschedule the prebid meeting until such time that the Division and Dr. Corley could come to some agreemem on the scope of work. GEC-Orphan PitU2N-Coal Mines-8 (Project Manager's Field Note Book-Erica Crosby) The principal objectives of this project was to perform maintenance on drainage and impoundment structures, to construct a permanent diversion, to reclaim two small pits and one associated highwalls with the backtilling of miscellaneous coal waste, trash and fill, and to revelelale all areas disturbed in the project. 9-10-93 Dr. Corley was sent a copy of the design and is uncomfortable with what he feels is a rushed design. The Division felt that the design was adequate, it was conducted to get a new design per Dr. Coney's recommendations. 9-30-93 During a telephone conversation regarding access road construction, coal waste removal and the tipple area, Dr. Corley stated that the Division never follows it's own rules. He also expressed serious concern regarding the contractor's equipment having the proper safety equipment and that he be listed as an additional insured. (The contractor installed the safety equipment and the AG informed the staff that Dr. Corley did not have to be an additional insured) 10-14-93 During a meeting with Dr. Corley, Mr. Corley stated that he was still concerned with the west pit pond design and wanted to know it the Division would pay for maintenance of the site. He stated that he would not let us do the job until we committed to the liability and have convinced him of the design. Erica staled that this would delay the project and possibly not get it done this year. Dr. Corley stated that he has rights and will keep us off of the property. Also, Dr. Corley stated that he believed that the Contractor, Phil Kessler, damaged a pipeline along the north side of the access road. It was noted that the contractor had not yet commenced working in this area. 10-27-93 Dr. Corley is upset about a memo sent out by the Coal Program supervisor regarding the gate lock and the Diversion design. Dr. Corley again states that he will not allow the project to proceed until he is• satisfied with the Division design. 10-28-93 Reference is made to an argument between Cathy Beget and Dr. Corley al last years pre-bid meeting. 12-28-93 Dr. Corley arrived on site and asked questions about the East Pit Access Road. Mr. Corley stated that he did not feel very involved in reviewing the designs and stated that he did not feel that the road issue had been addressed at that he would not allow the bid meeting to commence without these issues resolved. GEC Project-East Pit Coal Reclamation Project- The project work will involve reclamation of a large coal strip mine. The work included backfilling, grading, drainage ditch construction, permanent channel reconstruction and revegetation. 10-21-93MLRB adopted a Board Order, as a result of a petition from Dr. Corley, setting a timetable for development and completion of reclamation at the GEC Coal Mine. All Reclamation work was to be completed by May 31, 1994.
