FUJIKAWA:Because the Hearing Officer was involved and, so, you may <br />participate into that. Go ahead. Any other questions? Commissioner Springer? <br />SPRINGER:I haven’t been a part of a compliance hearing before. What is the <br />process here? <br />FUJIKAWA:Director? <br />SPRINGER:What’s expected of us? <br />YUEN:I think you haven’t been in one because there has never been <br />another one. The Commission put this in as a condition. The Commission was a little <br />bit, I think that when they passed the permit, they felt some concern about enforcement <br />and follow-up. Normally, it’s the administration, the Director is responsible for <br />enforcement; and if we found a violation, we would bring it to the Commission for <br />revocation. The condition is worded as it is, it’s to be brought to the Commission. The <br />Department does not see any violation, so that’s the status here; and so it’s in a report <br />mode. If the Commission or if the Director were to seek a revocation, then this would, it <br />would essentially be a Contested Case hearing on the part of the Applicant fighting <br />against that. But the Department is, our recommendation is that they, the Commission <br />also find that they’re in compliance and, with the conditions, and then, that this condition <br />then would have been met and they will then go on as a permitted operation. And if there <br />are violations in the future, then that would be up to the Department to bring that to the <br />Commission for enforcement, for a violation, for revocation. We could, we, the <br />Department would seek to correct any violations and could impose fines. But the <br />revocation would come back, any question of revoking the permit would come back to <br />the Commission. <br />SPRINGER:So if revocation is not an issue at today’s meeting, we’ll be <br />presented with information. We can determine whether or not that is an issue. But do we <br />offer a motion then of having received the report or -? <br />FUJIKAWA:Well, I think, do we ask the Hearing Officer to step forward? <br />Maybe they want to ask a question. <br />YUEN:This, we don’t have a Hearing Officer -. <br />FUJIKAWA:No, we don’t have any. <br />YUEN:No. <br />FUJIKAWA:Okay. <br />YUEN:I’m trying to remember if we did have a Hearing Officer. Okay, <br />we didn’t have a Hearing Officer in the first place and would not, we don’t have one <br />anymore for sure. So, but this is a, what Jeff has given us is the Department’s review -. <br />3 <br /> <br />
