Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Restrictions on
			 fueling locations. Fueling of diesel-powered equipment
			 may
			 only be conducted in the intake escape-way when the mine
			 design and entry configuration make it necessary. In those cases where fueling
			 in the intake escape- way is necessary, the mine operator
			 
								is to
			 submit a plan for approval to the chief, outlining the special safety
			 precautions that will be taken to insure the protection of miners. The
			 submitted plan 
								is to specify a location, such as the end of the
			 tail piece, the track, or adjacent to the load out point, where fueling
			 may be
			 conducted in the intake escape-way, and all other safety precautions
			 to
			 be taken. The plan 
								is to also include an examination of the area for
			 spillage or fire by a qualified individual.
(B) Diesel fuel and other combustible
			 materials 
								are
			 to be cleaned up and  not be
			 permitted to accumulate anywhere in an underground mine, or on diesel-powered
			 or electric equipment located therein.
(C) At least one individual who has
			 successfully completed the refueling procedure training of paragraph (B)(6) of
			 rule 1501:10-2-23 of the
			 Administrative Code is to be on duty at the mine when diesel-powered

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Exhaust
			 emissions for diesel-powered equipment 
								is to be
			 monitored and controlled using the control and conditioning systems of rule
			 1501:10-2-05 of the
			 Administrative Code, the threshold limits and other provisions of rule
			 1501:10-2-07 of the
			 Administrative Code, the baseline exhaust emissions values established in this
			 rule, and the diagnostic testing of rule
			 1501:10-2-21 of the
			 Administrative Code.
(B)
			 Establishing baseline exhaust emissions values. For purposes of diagnostic
			 testing under rule
			 1501:10-2-21 of the
			 Administrative Code, baseline exhaust emissions values
			 are to
			 be established in accordance with this rule for each piece of diesel- powered
			 equipment to be used in a specific underground coal mine.
(1) The chief will approve
			 baseline carbon monoxide (CO) values that are representative of the MSHA lug
			 curve for that specific engine model. If the baseline CO values are greater
			 than the MSHA lug curve values, the chief will investigate
			 and approve, disapprove, or provide an alternate operating procedure for
			 meeting  this rule under
			 the condition that CO baseline exhaust emissions remain representative of
			 MSHA's approval data.
(2) The chief
			 will
			 establish the loaded condition for the baseline exhaust emissions testing under
			 paragraphs (C)(12) to (C)(13) of this rule by determining carbon dioxide (CO2)
			 values that are representative of the MSHA lug curve readings for that engine
			 model and horsepower.
(3) When any
			 diesel-powered machine first enters service at a mine, or when an engine in any diesel-powered machine has been
			 replaced or modified, a mechanic qualified in accordance with rule
			 1501:10-2-24 of the
			 Administrative Code is to establish the baseline exhaust emissions values,
			 other than the CO and CO2 emissions values approved or established by the chief
			 under paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) of this rule, by following the procedure of
			 paragraph (C) of this rule or an approved alternative procedure of paragraph
			 (D) of this rule.
