SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977 and Title 30 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

44 govern the application, processing, 

and disposition of petitions for 

modification. 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary of Labor 

determines that: 

1. An alternative method of achieving 

the result of such standard exists which 

will at all times guarantee no less than 

the same measure of protection afforded 

the miners of such mine by such 

standard; or 

2. The application of such standard to 

such mine will result in a diminution of 

safety to the miners in such mine. 

In addition, sections 44.10 and 44.11 

of 30 CFR establish the requirements for 

filing petitions for modification. 

II. Petition for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2021–030–C. 

Petitioner: Rosebud Mining Company, 

301 Market Street, Kittanning, 

Pennsylvania (ZIP 16201). 

Mine: Heilwood Mine, MSHA ID No. 

36–09407, located in Indiana County, 

Pennsylvania. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1700 

(Oil and gas wells). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard, 30 CFR 75.1700, as it relates 

to oil and gas wells at the mine. 

Specifically, the petitioner is proposing 

procedures for: Cleaning out and 

preparing oil and gas wells prior to 

plugging or re-plugging; procedures for 

plugging or re-plugging oil or gas wells 

to the surface; procedures for plugging 

or replugging oil or gas wells for use as 

degasification boreholes; alternative 

procedures for preparing and plugging 

or re-plugging oil or gas wells; and 

procedures after approval has been 

granted to mine through a plugged or replugged well. 

The petitioner states that: 

(a) The Heilwood Mine is opened into 

the Lower Kittanning Coal seam and 

accesses the Brookville coal seam via an 

inter mine slope. Coal is produced in 

one underground section using a 

continuous mining machine and a 

continuous haulage system. The mine 

operates one production shift per day, 5 

to 6 days per week, producing an 

average of 800 tons of raw coal per day. 

The mine employs 20 persons 

underground and 5 on the surface. 

(b) The Heilwood Mine uses a room 

and pillar method of mining. A 

continuous miner with attached haulage 

develops main entries. After the mains 

are established butts, rooms, and/or 

panels are developed off of the mains. 

The length of the rooms and/or panels 

can typically extend a distance of 600 

feet to over 6,000 feet, depending on 

permit boundaries, projections, and 

conditions. 

(c) The Heilwood Mine permit 

contains oil or gas wells that have been 

depleted of oil or gas production, 

producing wells, and oil or gas wells 

that have not produced oil or gas and 

may have been plugged. These wells 

would alter the mining projections for 

the life of the mine and not allow for the 

most efficient use of air available to the 

mine if the barrier established by 30 

CFR 75.1700 were to remain in place. 

The petitioner proposes the following 

alternative method: 

(a) District Manager’s approval is 

required. 

(1) The type of oil or gas well that will 

be considered under this petition 

includes wells that have been depleted 

of oil or gas production, have not 

produced oil or gas and may have been 

plugged, and active wells. No Marcellus 

and Utica wells are contained within 

the Heilwood Mine Permit and subject 

to this modification. 

(2) A safety barrier of 300 feet in 

diameter (150 feet between any mined 

area and a well) shall be maintained 

around all oil and gas wells (to include: 

All active, inactive, abandoned, shut-in, 

and previously plugged wells; water 

injection wells; and carbon dioxide 

sequestration wells) until approval to 

proceed with mining has been obtained 

from the District Manager. Wells that 

were drilled into potential oil or gas 

producing formations that did not 

produce commercial quantities of either 

gas or oil (exploratory wells, wildcat 

wells, or dry holes) are classified as oil 

or gas wells by MSHA. 

(3) Prior to mining within the safety 

barrier around any well that the mine 

plans to intersect, the mine operator 

shall provide to the District Manager a 

sworn affidavit or declaration executed 

by a company official stating that all 

mandatory procedures for cleaning out, 

preparing, and plugging each gas or oil 

well have been completed as described 

by the terms and conditions of the 

Decision and Order. 

(4) The affidavit or declaration must 

be accompanied by all logs described in 

(b)(8) and (b)(9) below and any other 

records which the District Manager may 

request. The District Manager will 

review the affidavit or declaration, the 

logs, and any other records, may inspect
