Bureau of Deep Mine Safety The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS) has approved Consolidation Coal Company's request for a variance from the requirements of Section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act at the Dilworth Mine. 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 the BDMS web site at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the request: Consolidation Coal Company requested a variance from Section 224(b) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act to use a Conoco Drill to drill long horizontal boreholes in advance of mining at the Dilworth Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of Section 224(b).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following statements:
1. The proposed alternate drilling method requested by Consolidation Coal Company was used successfully in 1998 under a Bureau-approved plan for the F Mains Section of the Dilworth Mine. In 1998, this method was used to verify that there were no mine voids that would be cut into during future planned mining activities and to tap and dewater an adjacent mine pool.
2. The Conoco Drill is equipped with a means to close off the borehole should abandoned workings be encountered, thus preventing water and/or hazardous gasses from entering the Dilworth Mine.
3. The proposed minimum barrier pillar width of 50 feet is substantially larger than the pillar that would be provided under the provisions of Section 224(b).
4. The long horizontal borehole method is less labor intensive and produces less exposure to injuries by not having to handle and use hand-held drills and drill steels. By mining normal depth cuts, the work force will be subjected to less risk associated with equipment place changes due to drilling rib boreholes to a depth of 20 feet at an angle of 45-degrees every 8 feet. This will eliminate the need to handle all the equipment associated with the hand-held drill, including hydraulic hoses, drill steels, and the drill itself. Thus, the work force's exposure to types of injuries that could result from handling the hand-held drill is significantly reduced.
5. The long horizontal borehole method will provide verification along the entire length of the drilled hole that there are no mine voids present.
This approval is limited to a variance of the test hole drilling methods set forth in Section 224(b). All other terms and requirements of Section 224 shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under this approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Dilworth Mine's plan. Specific-site plans for future drilling using the long horizontal borehole method shall be submitted to the District Mine Inspector for review and approval.
ACTIONS TAKEN UNDER SECTION 401: FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT
