1988 to 1992 Permit Renewal <br />3.1.8 Surface Mining Near Underground Mining <br />During the time period 1988 to 1991, Trapper Mining Inc. will be conducting <br />mining activities within 500 horizontal feet of the underground mine workings <br />of Eagle No. 5 Mine, con[rotled by Empire Energy Corporation. These under- <br />ground workings, shown on Map M-8, C Pi[ Blasting Plan, are~mos[ly abandoned <br />roam and pillar mining areas for whicfi an estimated 857, extraction was accom- <br />plished. No currently-active headings fall within 500 feet of [he planned <br />blasting area, al [hough during [he permit term [he possibility exists. <br />Safely of underground workers will no[ be compromised as more than 800 verti- <br />cal feet separate [he bottom of the lowest mineable seam of Cult Pit from the <br />highest mineable seam of Empire's underground workings. To insure safety of <br />underground workers, blasting within 500 feet of the underground workings will <br />be done during Empire's shift changes when none of their workers are in the <br />area. <br />No other aspects of mining activities conducted by Trapper Mining Inc. will <br />effect [he underground mining operations. No surface water should enter the <br />underground workings due to [he extensive vertical separation of Che Cwo <br />mining operations. <br />• <br />I 1 <br />L_J <br />
