MINING
APPLICATIONS TO CONDUCT COAL AND NONCOAL ACTIVITIES The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has received a request for variance from Helvetia Coal Company. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Matthew A. Bertovich by calling (412) 439-7469.
The Department of Environmental Protection 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. All comments should be addressed to: Richard E. Stickler, Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (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 221(d) requires that in case of accident to a ventilating fan or its machinery, or if the fan stoppage is a planned interruption whereby the ventilation of the mine is interrupted, the mine foreman shall order the power to be disconnected from the affected portions and withdraw the men immediately from the face areas. In mines employing the use of multiple fans equipped with self-closing doors which operate automatically when the fan is stopped, the action need not be taken provided the minimum requirements are met by other fans of the system. If the fan has been stopped for a period of time in excess of 15 minutes in a gassy mine, and 30 minutes in a non-gassy mine, the mine foreman shall order the men withdrawn from the mine. If the mine foreman shall deem it necessary, he may withdraw the men from a gassy mine in less than the said 15 minutes and from a non-gassy mine in less than the said 30 minutes. He shall not allow the men to return to their work until ventilation has been restored and the mine has been thoroughly examined by certified personnel and reported safe. A record shall be made of said examination.
Summary of the request: Helvetia Coal Company requests a waiver of section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. This waiver will provide accommodations for the evacuation of men from the Marshall Run Mine by way of battery-powered personnel carriers and/or mantrips.

The NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
