1. “15. As a result of the defendant’s contemptuous failure to comply with the prior Orders of this Court, this Court specifically finds that the hours of operation of Continental Coal shall be the same as construed by Linn County Counsel Gary E. Thompson’s correspondence dated April 5, 2005, namely, that “any operation occurring outside daylight hours Monday through Friday shall be a violation of the CUP terms” and “daylight hours would be defined literally, that is by sunset and sunrise times.” 16. In order to address the parties’ concerns of [Continental’s] ability to work on weekends in emergency situations, the Court specifically finds that in the event of a true emergency when it becomes necessary to do so, the operators may also work on Saturday mornings from daylight until noon, but in no event shall operations continue beyond that point in time on Saturdays and they may also work on Sundays from noon until sunset. * * * ... the hours of operation of Conditional Use Permit No. 0903291 shall be and hereby are clarified as specifically set forth herein.”
