Request for Variance
The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from the Mon-View Mining Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Glen Ziegler by calling (717) 787-1376.
The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. Comments should be addressed to Thomas J. Ward, Jr., Director, Bureau of Deep Ming Safety, P. O. Box 8463, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8463.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, 52 P. S. §§ 701--702, provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 268(b) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act, entitled Clearances and Shelter Holes, requires that shelter holes be provided on the clearance side along designated travelingways that are also used as haulage entries, other than belt conveyor haulage entries. Such shelter holes shall be spaced not more than 80 feet apart.
Summary of the request: Mon-View Mining Company's plan calls for a 165 foot maximum distance between shelter holes along track haulage roads in panel development sections of the Mathies Mine. The variance would apply only to panels developed for retreat mining utilizing Mobile Roof Support (MRS) methods. The cross-cuts, which are proposed to be used as shelter holes, are projected on 150 foot centers in these sections to maxi-mize the safety and efficiency features of the MRS. All coal haulage from these sections will be done by conveyor belt. All track haulage covered by the variance will be battery powered. Track haulage will provide for the transportation of personnel, supplies and equipment.
