MEMORANDUM
TO: Fred Banta
David Shelton
FROM: David Holm
RE: Recommended Settlement of NOV 84-088
Mid-Continent Coal Resources, Inc.
I. FINDING OF VIOLATION
During the May, 1984 inspection, Jim Herron, of the Mined Land
Reclamation Division, observed that coal had apparently been pushed
onto the undisturbed area adjacent to the Mine No. 2 coal stockpile
road, and in the undisturbed area between the Mine No. 1 coal stockpile
and the slurry pond. Based upon oral testimony, slides, and
photographs, it appears that the issuance of the violation was
justified. I recommend that the violation NOV 84-088 be upheld.
II . PENALTY ASSESSMENT
A. History:
Based on the fact that one violation was issued against
Mid-Continent Coal Resources within the 12 months prior to this
NOV, an assessment of $50.00 is recommended.
B. Seriousness :
The Division based its proposed assessment for seriousness on the
fact that some damage to water quality and topsoil did occur and
that the duration of the violation was considered to be long.
Information presented during the hearing indicates that the
duration of the violation was small . Therefore, I recommend that
the assessment for seriousness be modified from $1 ,325.00 to
$875.00, based on the short duration of the violation. All parties
agreed that the extent of the violation was small .
