Department of Environmental Protection

Bureau of Deep Mine Safety

   The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Mon View Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Mathies Mine concerning test hole drilling. This notification contains a summary of this request. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida by calling (724) 439-7469 or from BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.

   Summary of the request:  Mon View Mining Company requested a variance from section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act for an alternative to the test hole-drilling plan. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of section 224.

   The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following conclusions:

   1.  The long horizontal borehole method proposed in lieu of the requirements set forth in section 224 has been used successfully at the Mathies Mine and other underground mines in this Commonwealth.

   2.  The long horizontal borehold method proposed is much less labor intensive and provides less exposure to lifting and strain type injuries, by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk of having accidents associated with equipment place changes.

   3.  The long horizontal borehold proposed in lieu of the requirement set forth in section 224(b) will provide a greater coal barrier than required by section 224(b). Mon View Mining Company's proposed long horizontal borehold method provides a 457% larger barrier for the protection of the miners from contacting the abandoned mine over the requirements of section 224(b).

   4.  The long horizontal boreholes will provide a quicker method to close the borehold in the event of contacting the abandoned mine by closing the valve located at the end of the pipe grouted in the rib and will be more suitable for grouting, if needed.

   This approval is limited to Mon View Mining Company's variance from the requirements in section 224(b). All other terms and requirements of section 224(b) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Mathies' plan.
