Overview

The subject mine is a large, complex underground mine. Examination of on-site areas during the audit was conducted by two inspection parties.

escape (intake), the #11 North Main conveyor belt, fire suppression systems, the #11 North Main right return, and the #11 North Main header. Clean-up and rock dusting were examined on the section and other areas traveled. Lifelines in the primary and alternate escapeways were examined, along with SCSR caches and an alternative refuge chamber. Also examined were the Matrix wireless tracking and paging communications system, two way radio communications, and two separate hardwire phone systems. The inspection also included an examination of construction of the "Y" seals. The second inspection party concentrated on preshift/onshift records and examinations, MMU 001-0 (Main East #1 Unit), imminent danger run, section ventilation, roof conditions, clean up and rock dusting, permissibility, and lifelines from the elevator to the section. The 1154 belt drive, fire suppression system, and portions of the belt conveyor system were examined. The variable frequency drive power center was housed in a crosscut lined with fire resistant concrete block-sand material. The examination also included the No. 2 belt drive and Matrix refuge chamber. Several fire taps and fire hoses, selected at random, were tested. Miners were interviewed to determine their familiarity with fire fighting procedures and the emergency evacuation plan. In addition, the bulletin board, bathhouse, and areas where miners congregate were also. examined.

Audit Results The audit revealed positive findings in seve(SI areas, including the following: 1. The F.O. Supervisor provided·documentation on Quarterly mine assignments, inspection targets and accomplishments and additional targets and goals that are reviewed with the inspection staff. . 2. MSHA personnel conducted them selves in a professional and courteous manner to the OA and the mine operator at all times. 3. Complete and thorough discussions of violations and evaluations were observed. 4. Mine plans kept at the district office were immaculate, up to date, and easily understood. 5. Mine visits made by supervisors and managers far exceeded the required numbers. The audit also revealed several issues that require corrective actions, including the following:

1. A review of the two previous E01 inspection reports and accompanying citations
indicate that evaluations for gravity, negligence, number of persons affected, and the

overall level of enforcement is not commensurate with the nature of the violations cited. (See Attachment C). Reports of Field Activity Reviews and Accompanied Activities did not contain sufficient documentation to give feedback to inspection personnel for improvement. Six 103(i) inspections (E02) were conducted on consecutive Tuesdays at the Beaver Dam field office. Hazard Complaint inspection files did not always contain the required information and/or documentation. Citations for violations not related to the complaint allegations were cited on the same event. Plans (specifically the ventilation and roof control plans) in the Uniform Mine File contained outdated materials and were difficult to understand.

There was a gap in the rib and it was pulled with very little effort. The size of the rib was 3.5 by 3.5 ft. and ranged from 1 to 6 inches thick. This belt is examined twice daily.
