He <br />also stated that the "Division follow this Rule and possibly develop a <br />new procedure for preparing and sending out inspection reports. <br />When problems are noted in the inspection report, there are often <br />deadlines that must be met to avoid violation. The Division agrees with <br />your comments however, as you are well informed while working at Mined <br />Land Reclamation Division and as a consu]tant, the Division has never <br />rejected a request from an operator for an extension of deadlines that <br />must be met to avoid violations. The Division has always granted <br />reasonable extensions to meet the required corrective action. <br />Item No. 9 <br />The inspector properly reported what he observed. At the time of the <br />inspection all topsoil piles observed were found to be eroding and this <br />problem was also mentioned to the operator present at the time. <br />If you require additional clarification, please contact the Division. <br />Sincerely, <br />Berhan Keffeiew <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />BK/ern <br />CC: Mr. Carl C.
