DEQ File Number:
Division:
Land Quality
Case type:
Permit Holders Appeal
Hearing Examiner:
T Flitner
Summary:
Appeal to the decision of the Director of the DEQ issued on September 19, 2011 and received by Thunder Basin on September 23, 2011. The decision upheld on NOV that was issued by the LQD on July 22, 2011. On May 18, 2011 Mrs. Edwards a resident near Thudner Basin's Coal Creek Mine, called the LQD to complain that a brown-orange cloud which sometimes can result from cast-blasting at coal mines, had passed over her house. The same day, Thunder Basin shot a cast-blast at its Coal Creek Mine. The LQD decided that the Coal Creek Mine shot could have contributed to the brown-orange cloud and issued an NOV to Thunder Basin.
