IV. ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
The following identifies enforcement actions taken during this inspection, the required abatement and
date of abatement for the violation, previous violations still requiring abatement and the termination of
violations cited during previous inspections.
Notice of Violation CV-2007-006
Notice of Violation CV-2007-06 was issued for failure to confine surface coal mining and reclamation
operations to lands within the permit area. Topsoil-like material and excess rock were transported from
the Hubbard Creek vent shaft construction site to the Paonia Water Pollution Control Facility, which is
not the approved plan. The topsoil-like material should have been stockpiled within the Bowie No. 2
permit area and the excess rock should have been transported to the Bowie No. 1 East Mine for
permanent storage as approved in MR-83 for Bowie No. 2 and MR-119 for Bowie No. 1. The two
abatement steps are:
1. Transport topsoil-like material from the Paonia Water Pollution Control Facility to the Hubbard
Creek vent shaft construction site for storage or to another topsoil storage area approved by the
Division through a minor revision. Field Minor Revision No. 84 was approved so that the topsoil-like
material from the Paonia facility or from the Hubbard Creek vent shaft construction site can be
stockpiled at the Bowie No. 2 unit train loadout main topsoil stockpile. The due date for abatement is 5
pm on November 23, 2007.
The field inspection of December 5, 2007 verified that the topsoil-like material was transported
to the main topsoil stockpile at the Bowie No. 2 unit train loadout. The operator was beginning
to seed the topsoil addition and cover it with erosion control matting. Therefore, step one has
been abated.
2. Transport excess rock to the Bowie No. 1 Mine as approved in Minor Revision No. 83 or obtain
Division approval through a technical revision to keep the excess rock at the Paonia facility. The due
date for abatement is 5 pm on December 17, 2007.
The Division received Technical Revision No. 51 on December 10, 2007 in which Bowie
Resources is seeking approval to keep the excess rock material at the Paonia Water Pollution
Control Facility. The Division is reviewing TR-51.
