The OSM, following <br />correct procedures, issued the Division a Ten-Day xotice in <br />response to the complaint. IIltimately, Basin was intorsed v1a <br />internal Division correspondence that the issuance of a Notice of <br />Violation was imminent. Basin responded to the internal servo by <br />notifying the Division that negotiations with xr. Tatun had been <br />initiated, but were suspended because Mr. Tatum underwent major <br />surgery and was unable to continue•to pursue the issue further <br />until he had returned to good health. <br />On June 27, 1994, the Diviaion.receiged correspondenae trom 2~. <br />Tatum demanding further action by the State in order to resolve <br />this issue. apparently ?D•. Tatum is now able to discuss resolution <br />of this issue with Basin. Therefore, the Division is again <br />prepared to issue easin a 2lotice of Violation should a successful <br />conclusion to this matter not be reached by July il, 1994. <br />Please feel free to contact ae at (30]) 241-0336 if you have <br />cruestions or comments. <br />CC: Michael Long <br />Joc Dudash <br />Dan Hernandez <br />C:\wp5l.tatumwl <br />Coal Program Supervisor <br />
