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.

Jkt 235001
(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.

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,
