plan for the emergency closing of these
fire doors, notification of personnel, and
deenergization of electric power inby
the doors will be included in the mine
emergency evacuation and firefighting
program of instruction plan.
(14) Two separate lines or systems for
voice communication will be
maintained in the two-entry mining
section. Mine pager phones will be
installed every 1,000 feet within one
crosscut of the location of the dieseldiscriminating sensor in the belt and
intake entries. The two systems will not
be routed through the same entry.
(15) An approved wireless and
tracking communication system will be
used as a communication link between
the AMS operator, the designated
person on each working section, all
diesel equipment operators in each
active two-entry panel gate roads, and
any person investigating an alert
condition. Methods of personnel
tracking and communications will be
subject to approval of the District
Manager.
(16) In addition to self-contained selfrescuers (SCSRs) specified in the Lila
Canyon Emergency Response Plan, at
least one SCSR will be available for each
person on the working section at all
times and will be carried into the
section and carried on the section, or
stored on the section while advancing
the two-entry development.
(17) During longwall retreat mining,
in addition to SCSRs specified in the
Lila Canyon Emergency Response Plan,
at least two SCSRs will be available for
each regularly assigned person on the
working section. One will be stored near
the face in the headgate entries at a
readily accessible location and one will
be stored near the tailgate entries.
(18) In addition to the requirements of
30 CFR 75.1100–2(b), fire hose outlets
with valves every 300 feet will be
installed along the intake entry. At least
500 feet of fire hose with fittings and
nozzles suitable for connection with the
outlets will be stored at each strategic
location along the intake entry. The
locations will be specified in the mine
emergency evacuation and firefighting
program of instruction plan.
(19) Compressor stations and
unattended portable compressors will
not be located in the two-entry panel.
(20) The details for the fire detection
system and methane monitoring system,
including the type of monitor and
specific sensor location on the mine
map, will be included in the ventilation
plan required by 30 CFR 75.370. The
District Manager may require additional
diesel-discriminating sensors, carbon
monoxide sensors, or methane sensors
to be installed as part of the ventilation

plan to ensure the safety of the miners
in any part of the two-entry system.
(21) Lifelines that meet the
requirements of 30 CFR 75.380 will be
provided in the primary and secondary
escapeways during two-entry
development, longwall setup, recovery,
and longwall retreat mining.
(22) The AMS will activate an alarm
signal if the total concentration of
uncorrected carbon monoxide measured
by any sensor exceeds or is equal to 50
ppm. This concentration will represent
all the carbon monoxide present in the
sensor’s atmosphere, including carbon
monoxide from diesel engines.
The petitioner states that prior to
implementation of this petition, all
affected personnel will complete
training on the following:
(1) The fire suppression systems used
on diesel equipment used in the twoentry system;
(2) Precautions for working around
the hydraulic pumping station when the
hydraulic pumping station for the
longwall supports is located in the twoentry system;
(3) All conditions specified by this
petition;
(4) Procedures for emergency closing
of fire doors and permanent ventilation
control devices, notification of
personnel, and deenergization of
electric power within the longwall
district; and
(5) Conditions specified in the
approved ventilation plan.
The petitioner further states that the
terms and conditions of the petition will
not apply during the time period from
completion of the development mining
of the two-entry longwall panel until the
beginning of the longwall equipment
set-up activities, provided the conveyor
belt in the two-entry panel is not
energized. During this time period, all
other mandatory standards will apply.
Persons may review a complete
description of petitioner’s alternative
method and procedures at the MSHA
address listed in this petition. The
petitioner asserts that the proposed
alternative method will always
guarantee the miners affected no less
protection than is provided by the
standard and application of the standard
will result in a diminution of safety to
the miners.
