<br />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 S00 horizontal feet of [he underground mine workings <br />of Eagle No. 5 Mine, controlled by Flnpire Energy Corporation. These under- <br />ground workings, shown on Map M-8, C Pit Blasting Plan, are mostly abandoned <br />room and pillar mining areas for which an estimated 85X extraction was accom- <br />plished, No currently-active headings fall within 500 feet of the planned <br />blasting area, although during the permit term the possibility exists. <br />Safety of underground workers will not be compromised as more than 800 verti- <br />cal feet separate the bottom of the lowest mineable seam of Colt Pit from [he <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 the underground mining operations. No surface water should enter the <br />underground workings due [o the extensive vertical separation of the two <br />mining operations. <br />
