RE: Yoast Mine (C-94-082)
Permit Application
Dear Mr. Altavilla and Mr. Wendt:
The Division (DMG) has completed a preliminary adequacy review of the Yoast Mine permit
application submitted by Seneca Coa] Company (SCC) on November 16, 1994. Some portions
of the application have not yet been reviewed, as noted below. For those portions whLCh were
reviewed, the Division has the following questions and comments.
Tab 3 - Adjudication File
1. The Applicant Violator System (AVS) was queried on December 19, 1994. The s stem
recommendation was to deny the permit application. On December 20, 1994 AVS~OSM
overturned the deny recommendation, recommending a conditional issue, ending
resolution of Kentucky State Violation No. 010667 (mine permit #8895005 Two
additional checks are required during this review process, one at the proposed decision
date and one prior to issuance of the permit. The Division will keep SCC apprised of
the results of these queries. If the issue is not resolved when the Division is ready to
issue the Yoast Mine permit, resolution of the matter will be a stipulation to the
Division's approval of the application.
2. Officers and directors for the controlling entities of Seneca Coal Company (Attachment
3-S pages 3 through 23) were compared with the officers and directors in the AVS. It
appears that there is some discrepancy in the information provided in the permit
applECation and that in the AVS. Please verify the information below and revise the
permiC application if necessary.
