I <br /> EXPLANATION <br /> At the time of this permit application submittal <br /> (Dec. 1, 1987) Entries #3, #4 and #5 are inactive, and are <br /> being maintained on a standby status. They are not, therefore, <br /> being used for coal haulage and maintenance is primarily <br /> limited to keeping the drainage systems operating properly. <br /> The Adit/Rock Tunnel extends to the workings of Entries <br /> #1 and #2, and coal is transported from the areas of active <br /> mining to raw coal storage through the Adit/Rock Tunnel, rather <br /> than over the haul roads. Usage of the roads has diminished, <br /> although the Briedan Plant remains at the #1 portal area, <br /> so the road is used for limestone haulage to the plant. <br /> In addition, the road is used and remains important on a year <br /> basis for traffic to the portals to accomplish equipment <br /> maintenance, maintenance of the entries as escapeways and <br /> alternate transportation routes. <br />
