August 23,2022 C-1980-007/West Elk Mine LDS <br /> Work had not yet begun on the aggregate storage bins or on the rock dust tank, although both projects <br /> were expected to go ahead soon. <br /> The fire breaks constructed by D&S Underground for MCC to mitigate the risk of the fire at the <br /> Bear/Edwards Mine spreading towards the West Elk facilities area were inspected. Vegetation had been scraped <br /> clear down to bare soil using a dozer. The topography meant that a continuous break could not be constructed, so it <br /> was in two sections with a rocky cliff band in between. To the extent possible the fire break sections had been <br /> constructed along a topographic ridge,giving the best chance of defending them should the fire flare up again. <br /> DOCUMENTS RECEIVED <br /> N/A <br /> OTHER(SPECIFY) <br /> N/A <br /> ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS/COMPLIANCE <br /> No enforcement actions were initiated as a result of this inspection,nor are any pending. <br /> Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 1 <br /> Page 3 of 13 <br />
