Diane Delaney Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. P.O. Box 1298 Carbondale, CO 81602 Re: NOV C-91-018 Vacation Notice File No. C-81-017 Dear Ms. Delaney: As you are aware, based on information which was presented at the assess- ment conference for the above-referenced Notice of Vacation (NOV) , the conference officer recommended that the NOV be vacated . The Director concurred with the recommendation and has vacated the NOV. The Vacation Notice is enclosed. Despite the vacation of the violation, it is the Division' s determination that the permit conditions which allow for continued sloughing of cut- and-fill slopes are no longer appropriate, and the permit will need to be revised accordingly. Statements on pages 17, 21 and 22 of Chapter 5 of the approved permit which reference sloughage of cut-and-fill slopes as a component of the interim reclamation plan will need to be removed or appropriately modified. These changes should be submitted as a part of the previously submitted Permit Revision No. 2 application. In addition, the abatement measures specified in NOV C-91-018 for the identified cut-and-fill sections (or alternative measures which will in- sure compliance with Rules 4.03.2(3)(c)(ii ) , 4.03.2(3)(d)(x) and 4.03.3(1 )(a)) will need to be submitted for inclusion in the revision application. A schedule for implementation of specified treatments allowing for installation of stabilization/siltation control measures in lower elevation, more accessible areas first, with implementation in all areas to be completed no later than August 1 , 1992, shall be included.
