In addition, you also alleged that conditions <br /> existed that constituted a significant, imminent environmental harm to land, air or water <br /> resources. A copy of your letter had been sent to the Colorado Division of Mining and <br /> Geology (DMG). <br /> Both you and DMG were contacted during the afternoon of July 6, 1993, to co-ordinate an <br /> inspection of the Coal Basin Mine for the morning of July 7, 1993. You were able to <br /> participate in that inspection. The following are the results of that inspection relative to the <br /> allegations contained in your letter: <br /> 1. Openings - two deep chutes located in the stacker/conveyor area. <br /> During the inspection the DMG inspector issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) <br /> addressing this problem. The operator immediately filled in the two holes thus <br /> eliminating the imminent danger to the public potentially associated with those <br /> structures. Therefore, no further action by AFO is required. <br /> 2. Dutch Creek Flume - the concrete flume conveying Dutch Creek into Coal Creek is <br /> badly damaged. <br />
