BUREAU OF MINE SAFETY
Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Bureau of Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved Cobra Mining, LLC's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Dooley Run 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 Cathy Dunn by calling (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau's website at http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/deepminesafety/site/default.asp.
Summary of the Request: Cobra Mining, LLC requested a variance from section 242(c) of the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Dooley Run Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's approval is summarized as follows:
1. The AMR MC-4210 CO Monitoring System will provide advance warning of a developing mine fire originating in the conveyor belt entry. When maintained and operating correctly, this system provides warnings much earlier than the point type heat sensors.
2. Common entries would permit the larger section mantrip and scoops access to belt entry for transportation of personnel and supplies.
3. The operator will maintain a separate isolated intake escapeway that is at a higher air pressure than the belt and common entries.
4. The plan provides for the common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway. There will be a total of three separate, isolated escape routes.
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 the plan and the following conditions:
1. All mine employees shall be task trained in the AMR MC-4210 CO monitoring system alert and alarm response procedures. These procedures shall also be included in the 8-hour annual retraining.
2. As part of the requirements of section 228, all belt entries, common entries and unfenced roadways shall be preshifted in their entirety.
3. Designated areas shall be established as strategic locations along the belt entry and common entry to determine whether the air is traveling in the proper course and normal volume. This air reading shall be taken by a scientific means (anemometer, chemical smoke tube, velometer).
