2.05.3 <br />Five rock entries were driven in the B-East mains to cross the fault in the B- <br />Seam. The entries were be supported as necessary to assure safety of the <br />miners and to assure any debris within the fault plane is supported in place <br />and not allowed to cave or flow into the mine. <br />Mining advanced through the fault in the D-Seam and longwall panels W D1, <br />WD2 and WD3 were mined with no significant problems. Longwall mining <br />faces will be developed about 850 feet wide and will vary in length from 2800 <br />to 6200 feet. Gates entries will typically be developed with three entries with <br />pillar spacing and size designed to provide maximum support for ventilation <br />and belt haulage. Bleeder entries will be developed with four or more <br />entries. <br />The new unit train loadout is located south of the UPRR mainline. The <br />Terror Creek Loadout and its associated activities are located north of the <br />UPRR mainline. Therefore, the Operator and the Terror Creek Loadout will <br />not have overlapping permit areas. <br />• Mining is currently ongoing in the B-Seam. Panel B-3 will be completed in <br />November 2006. Development for panel B-4 is complete and development <br />for additional panels is ongoing. <br />Permit Renewal ~Z 2.05 - 5 - 12/06 <br />n~ 2-Sa <br />/1 PPRov~ <br />7~3 i~o7 <br />
