Michael B. Long
Division Director
Enclosed is the Division's Mid-Term Review and decision to require revisions
to the Southfield Mine Permit Application No. C-81-014. The review was in
fulfillment of Rules 2.08.3, 2.06.2(9), 2.06.3(4), 2.06.5(3) 2.06.7(5), and
3.02.2(4).
The mid-term review consisted of reviewing the permit application, stipulation
responses, revisions, any monitoring submittals, as well as information from
past field inspection reports. The main purpose of the review waa to identify
any areas of the permit application that will need to be revised or modified
to ensure compliance and reflect the current status of the mine.
The enclosed document contains our mid-term review: a rationale for requiring
any revisions to the application; a timetable for submitting responses;
adequacy questions; questions related to our performance bond evaluation; a
summary of the status of stipulations, and a chronology of the permitting
activity within the last five years.
The Division requests that EFCI submit appropriate responses to these concerns
by March 19, 1993. The responses should be submitted in a package using a
format that allows easy insertion of the responses directly into the original
permit application, and should include a proposed public notice for the
Technical Revision.
EFCI should expect the following review process: the Division will
subsequently make a decision on completeness of the submittal within ten days,
prepare an adequacy response within three weeks of the completeness letter,
anticipate receipt of responses to the adequacy letter within another three
weeks, and expect to make a decision by the sixtieth day per Rule
2.06.4(5)(b)(ii). Any outstanding issues will be assigned as stipulations
