(b) The surface well head will be 

maintained open to bring the vertical 

section of the wellbore to outside

(c) Drivage sights will be installed 

within 80 feet of the mine-through 

point; 

(d) Firefighting equipment will be 

provided near the working face, 

including two 10-pound fire

and fire hose of sufficient length to 

reach the working face and capable of 

delivering at least 50 gallons per minute 

of water at minimum pressure of 50 PSI; 

(e) At least 9,000 CFM of intake air at 

the face will be supplied, but no less

during the time mining is conducted 

within 30 feet of the wellbore; 

(h) All equipment will be deenergized 

and the area thoroughly examined when 

the wellbore is intersected; 

(i) Once the area has been determined

during production shifts, until mining 

has progressed 20 feet past the initial 

mine-through point; 

(j) No persons will be permitted in the 

area of the mine-through operation 

except those persons actually engaged 

in the operation, including mine 

management, personnel from MSHA, 

and personnel from the appropriate 

State agency;

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure of protection afforded by the 

existing standard.
