Board Hearing
The hearing addresses a possible violation of regulations related to the Western Slope Flagstone Quarry No. 2, operated by Rudolph Fontanari. The main issues include failure to comply with the conditions of an order, permit, or regulation, specifically regarding water application within the permit boundary. The operator was found in violation of regulations in a previous hearing on August 21, 2019, and a cease and desist order was issued. However, subsequent inspections revealed continued irrigation activities and the installation of a new water conveyance system. Staff recommendations include finding multiple violations, issuing a new cease and desist order, requiring corrective actions, and considering permit suspension or revocation. Civil penalties are also being considered due to the operator's lack of compliance.
