West Elk Mine <br />Fire Breaks <br />Fire Breaks are constructed West the Main Mine Site. The neighboring mine, Bear Mine, has historically had <br />issues with underground fire that, more recently, has spread to surface fire. In order to protect the Main Mine <br />Site location and land from fire danger MCC installed a fire break that consists of approximately 1.8 miles of <br />road that is roughly 20-30 feet wide. The land disturbance for the Fire Breaks is not a mine facility and will <br />not be used in the future for any activity associated with mining or reclamation. <br />Figure 17: Fire Break Location <br />2.05-28 Rev. 06105, 01106, 03106, 04106 & 05106- PR10; 01109- MR350; 04109- TRIM 04109- MR353; 05109- MR354; 08/09- TR118; <br />08109- TR119; 09112- MR387; 11/12- MR390; 07118-PR15; 11118- MR430; MR438- 09119; MR439- 11119; 07120- MR447; 6122- <br />MR464 <br />
