RE: Pitkin County Permit Hearing
Dear Diane,
This is to provide you with a written summary of the actions
taken by the Pitkin County Commissioners at their Permit Hearing
on the Mid-Continent Coal Basin Mines last Tuesday, November 27 .
The purpose of the hearing was to review Mid-Continent's
progress towards the design, permitting and installation of a new
water treatment system to replace or supplement the 016 Pond
System that has proven itself vulnerable to upset in the past.
This effort began last year with Mid-Continent's committment to
install a mechanical water treatment system. That attempt failed
due to the allegedly illegal misuse of funds by your original
contractor. Attempts to redesign and install an alternative
system were delayed this summer by the underground fire and have
recently been renewed. At your meeting with the County
Commissioners of October 23 , you were required to present a
fully-engineered plan for a new treatment system including a
timetable for construction and plans. for state permitting. Last
Tuesday's hearing was intended to review your compliance with
those requirements.
Following your discussion with the Board they made the
following findings:
1. ) The plans presented are recognized as being partially
responsive to our concerns insofar as they describe a new water
treatment system which appears to be workable. You are
proceeding to prepare for installation through the procurement of
materials and the submission of these plans to the appropriate
state agencies for their official review and approval .
2 . ) The Board determined to schedule a Show-Cause Hearing for
their regular meeting on February 25. The purpose of that
hearing will be to give Mid-Continent an opportunity to
demonstrate why the Special Use Permit should not be revoked
based on the failure to comply with the requirement for a new
water treatment system. The County will base its actions at this
hearing on the following criteria:
