RE: Assessment of Civil Penalty for NOV 82-26
Rationale for Proposed Amount of Civil Penalty
Notice of Violation No. 83-13
Nature of Violation: Failure to prevent, to the extent possible,
additional contributions of suspended solids to stream flow.
Specifically, failure to maintain the sediment control system so as to
provide acceptable detention time.
Inspector: Dan Mathews
Rationale
5.04.5(2) (a) - History of violations ($50.00/violation; $1,750.00
maximum) .
Mid Continent Resources has had one previous violation in the past year.
$50.00 is assessed for history. It
5.04.5(2) (b) - Seriousness of violation ($1, 750.00 maximum) . The
seriousness component is based on the probability of damage occurrence
and the duration and extent of damage.
Based on observations of discolored water entering Coal Creek and
analyses of water samples taken by the Division on April 12th and 13th,
it is concluded that damage did occur (value of 4).
The high TSS discharge had not been noted by the Division in an
inspection two weeks prior to the April inspection. The operator had
taken measures to correct the problem by April 13, 1983, the day after
the discharge was observed. The duration of damage is considered to be
short (value of 2).
