SPECIAL NOTICES
Bureau of Deep Mine Safety
Approval of Request for VarianceThe Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (BDMS), has approved DLR Mining, Inc.'s request for a revision to its 702 variance from the requirements of Section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act that was approved on January 29, 1999, for the Ridge Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. 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: DLR Mining, Inc. requested a modification to its approved carbon monoxide (CO) alarm system. The modified CO alarm system will activate an alarm, both audible and visual, at a location on the surface where a responsible person will be on duty and at the working section loading point. The proposal accords protection to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements of Section 242(c).
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized in the following conclusion:
1. Ridge's plan provides early warning fire detection by the use of carbon monoxide (CO) mine wide monitoring system. The system will notify the affected mining sections with an audible and visual alarm. The system will communicate to the computer control station located on the surface. An outside employee can then notify the affected areas via the mine communication system.
2. Ridge's plan provides a separate, isolated intake escapeway that will be maintained at a higher ventilation pressure than the belt and common entries.
3. Ridge's plan provides for the belt and common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway.
4. There are significant health and safety benefits associated with allowing entries in common with the belt entry. Repair and maintenance work in the belt entry is afforded safer access. Improved visual safety inspections are facilitated by open crosscuts.
This approval is limited to a variance from the requirements in Section 242(c) requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of Section 242(c) shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in Ridge's plan.
