Gunnison's Response to Inspection Comments on "Roof Cracks" <br />(Permit C-007-8U) <br />Dear Ms. Seville: <br />On August 31, 1982 an inspections was conducted of West Elk Coal <br />Company's Mt. Gunnison Mine. One problem noted in our report of that <br />inspection concerned the underground "Roof Crack" phenomenon. The <br />• Division required Mt. Gunnison to submit a discussion of the hypothetical <br />fracturing mechanism and the related discussion of its implication for <br />the approved mining plan. <br />'We have reviewed your second response to this inspection item dated <br />August 30, 1983. Attached is a memo from Jim Pendleton of our staff who <br />conducted the review. Your response adequately addressed our concerns. <br />Please note that we will re-review the "Roof Crack" situation as it <br />relates to the entire mine plan and the findings of compliance we make <br />during the upcoming midterm review. At that time there may be additional <br />design considerations Mt. Gunnison will need to consider. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br />Sincere y, ~- <br />/~ ~~ ~u <br />Robert G.
