whereas it minimizes the hazards to 

those employed in the initial or 

subsequent development of the blind 

drilled shaft. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

proposed alternative method will at all 

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure of protection afforded the 

miners by the existing standard. 

Docket Number: M–2014–030–C. 

Petitioner: M-Class Mining, LLC, 

11351 N. Thompsonville Road, 

Macedonia, Illinois 62860. 

Mine: MC#1 Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 11– 

03189, located in Franklin County, 

Illinois. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.507– 

1(a) (Electric equipment other than 

power-connection points; outby the last 

open crosscut return air; permissibility 

requirements). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit the use of 

nonpermissible submersible deep well 

pumps in bleeder and return air courses. 

The petitioner proposes to install lowvoltage alternating current submersible 

pumps in return and/or bleeder entries 

and sealed area of the MC#1Mine. The 

petitioner states that: 

(1) These low-voltage submersible 

pumps will provide a pumping option 

to the existing turbine pumps that are 

installed to maintain the bleeder and 

return entries from obstructions caused 

by water. Water accumulations in these 

airways can pose a safety hazard as they 

can affect the airflow in the active and 

inactive parts of the mine. 

(2) The pumps may be installed 

between 600 and 1,200 feet below the 

surface. 

(3) The three-phase low-voltage 

alternating current electric power 

circuits for the pumps will be designed 

and installed to: 

(a) Contain either a direct or derived 

neutral wire, which must be grounded 

through a suitable resistor at the source 

transformer or power center and 

through a grounding circuit originating 

at the grounded side of the grounding 

resistor, which must extend along with 

the power conductors and serve as the 

grounding conductor for the frame of 

the pump and all associated electric 

equipment that may be supplied power 

from this circuit. The borehole casing 

will be bonded to the system grounded 

medium. 

(b) Contain a grounding resistor that 

limits the ground-fault current to not 

more than 15 amperes. The grounding 

resistor will be rated for the maximum 

fault current available and will be 

insulated from ground for a voltage 

equal to the phase-to-phase voltage of 

the system. 

(c) Provide protection by a suitable 

circuit breaker of adequate interrupting 

capacity with devices to protect against 

undervoltage, grounded phase, shortcircuit, and overload. 

(d) Contain a disconnecting device 

installed in conjunction with the circuit 

breaker to provide visual evidence that 

the power is disconnected. 

(e) Include a fail-safe ground check 

circuit or other no less effective device 

approved by the Secretary as required 

by 30 CFR 75.902, that will cause the 

circuit breaker to open when either the 

ground or pilot wire is broken. 

(4) The pump(s) electric control 

circuits will be designed and installed 

so that: 

(a) The pump(s) cannot start and/or 

run in either the manual or the 

automatic mode if the water is below 

the low level indicator (probe or 

bubbler) level. 

(b) The low level (probe or bubbler) 

water level probe will be located at least 

three feet above the pump inlet and 

motor and electrical connections of the 

pump(s). 

(c) The high and low water probes 

must be suitable for submersible pump 

control application. 

(d) All water level probe circuits will 

be protected with MSHA approved 

intrinsically safe barriers. 

(e) A remote control and monitoring 

system may be used with the pump 

system for condition monitoring and for 

remote start-up and shutdown control of 

the pumps. The remote control and 

monitoring system will not allow 

remote reset of the pump power system 

when fault conditions (e.g., grounded 

phase, short circuit, or overload) exist 

on the system. 

(5) The surface pump(s) control and 

power circuits will be examined, tested, 

and maintained as required by 30 CFR 

77.502. 

(6) Splices and connections made in 

submersible pump cable will be made in 

a workmanlike manner and will meet 

the requirements of 30 CFR 75.604. The 

pump installations will comply with all 

other applicable 30 CFR requirements. 

(7) Within 60 days after the Proposed 

Decision and Order becomes final, the 

petitioner will submit proposed 

revisions for its approved part 48 

training plan to the District Manager. 

The proposed revisions will specify task 

training for all qualified electricians 

who perform electric work and monthly 

electric examinations, testing and 

maintenance as required in 30 CFR 

77.502, refresher training regarding the 

alternative method outlined in the 

petition, and the terms and conditions 

in the Proposed Decision and Order. 

(8) The procedures of 30 CFR 48.3 for 

approval of proposed revisions to 

already approved training plans will 

apply. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

proposed alternative method will at all 

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure of protection afforded the 

miners by the existing standard.

Application Details 

1. Applicant, Permit Application: 2015– 

012 

Dr. Diana H. Wall, Natural Resource 

Ecology Lab, Dept. 1499, Colorado 

State University, Fort Collins, CO 

80526–1499 

Activity for Which Permit Is 

Requested: ASPA entry, Import. 

Applicant wishes to enter Cape Royds 

ASPA 121 to collect soil samples and 

associated invertebrates as well as 

benthic algal mats and underlying soil. 

This project follows up on several past 

surveys of orthinogenic soils conducted 

in this ASPA which examined 

invertebrate genetic distribution, and 

also explores the influence of climate 

change on soil invertebrate populations. 

The algae sampling is to also follow up 

on previous surveys, to examine the 

temporal stability of lake algal 

communities in the region. Soil samples 

of approximately 600 grams each would 

be collected at up to 30 sites within the 

ASPA using sterile collecting 

techniques. For benthic algae, at 6 sites 

along the shore of Poly Lake, the 

applicant and team would use a 

sanitized 2cm copper coring apparatus 

to collect, by hand, 4 replicates of 

surface algal mats and 1–2 cm of 

underlying sediment. Samples would be 

transported back to the US for further 

study. 

Location: ASPA 121 Cape Royds. 

Dates: January 1, 2015–February 15, 

2015.
