<br />OTHER MOVES OF NOTE
<br />And we though[ you'd like to know, environmental at-
<br />torney L. Thomas Galloway, who has engineered several
<br />lawsuits and controversial settlements against the Office of
<br />Surface Mining, is moving from Washington, D.C. to Boul-
<br />der. According to a recent edition of the Mine Regulation
<br />Reporter, Galloway intends to teach law and write att envi-
<br />ronmental history of mining. But retirement is not in the
<br />cards for this lawyer, who is reported to be applying the con-
<br />cepts developed in the Applicant Violator System (AVS) to
<br />other "pollution areas as well as health and safety." for those
<br />who have not encountered the AVS, it is a computer based
<br />system used to deny permits to companies with outstanding
<br />violations of environmental laws. As applied, however, AVS
<br />has become a monster, extending liability to increasingly re-
<br />mote levels of corporate ownership, rather than focusing on
<br />true violators, in an effort to go after the "deep pockets."
<br />Controversy has raged for years over the application of AVS
<br />to coal mining operations. More recently, bills to repeal the
<br />1872 Mining Law sponsored by anti-mining forces include
<br />AVS provisions.
<br />We are very pleased to announce that Terry O'Connor.
<br />CMA Chairman-elect, has been named Vice President, Exter-
<br />nal Affairs, ARCO Coal Company. Terry had served as
<br />Manager, Government and Public Affairs, since June, 1989.
<br />Terry came to ARCO in 1989 after a long stint as Western
<br />Regional Counsel for Peabody.
