§ 1514.07.

Each order of the chief of the division of mineral resources management affecting

the rights, duties, or privileges of an operator or the operator's surety or of an

applicant for a permit or an amendment to a permit or a plan shall be in writing and

contain a finding by the chief of the facts upon which the order is based.  Notice of the order shall be given by certified mail to each person whose rights,

duties, or privileges are affected. If the chief finds that an operator has violated any requirement of this chapter,

failed to perform any measure set forth in the approved plan of mining and reclamation

that is necessary to prevent damage to adjoining property or to achieve, or has otherwise

failed to achieve, the performance standards of division (A)(10) of section 1514.02 of the Revised Code , or caused damage to adjoining property, the chief may issue orders directing the

operator to cease violation, perform such measures, achieve such standards, or prevent

or abate off-site damage.  The order shall identify the operation where the violation occurs, the specific

requirement violated, measure not performed, standard not achieved, or off-site damage

caused, and where practicable prescribe what action the operator may take to comply

with the order.  The chief shall fix and set forth in the order a reasonable date or time by which

the operator shall comply, and the order shall state that the chief may revoke the

operator's permit if the order is not complied with by that date or time.  If upon that date or time the chief finds that the operator has not complied with

the order, the chief may issue an order revoking the operator's permit.
