Box 158 <br /> Carbondale, CO 81623 <br /> Coal Basin Mine <br /> (MSHA ID 05-02342) <br /> C/o Mid-Continent Resources, Inc. <br /> P. 0. Box 158 <br /> Carbondale, CO 81623 <br /> 3 . Description of Mines. All active mining at Mid- <br /> Continent ceased January 25, 1991. (More on sale efforts?) <br /> 3 . 1 Consolidated Dutch Creek Mine <br /> With the construction and completion of the Coal Basin <br /> Adit/Rock Tunnels Project (hereinafter the "RTP") , the Dutch Creek <br /> No. 1 Mine (MSHA ID 05-00301) and the Dutch Creek No. 2 Mine <br /> (formerly MSHA ID 05-00469) (sometimes hereinafter 111-Mine" and <br /> 112-Mine") have been interconnected. As of July 1, 1988, 1-Mine and <br /> 2-Mine were formally consolidated into a single mine, the Dutch <br /> Creek Mine. Both the former 1-Mine and 2-Mine areas are now <br /> accessed by and coal is conveyored out via the RTP. The RTP, some <br /> 15,000 lineal feet in distance, is the principal means of mine <br /> egress and ingress since the consolidation, but both the B- and <br /> M-seam slope sections remain secondary escapeways for the active <br /> mining sections. <br /> With the construction of the RTP the former practice of <br /> hauling coal from the mine portals, at elevations of approximately <br /> 10,000 feet msl, as well as transporting personnel to and from the <br /> mines, over steep mountain roads to the District Office-Coal <br /> Preparation Plant-bathhouse area at an elevation of approximately <br /> 8, 100 feet msl has been discontinued. All active underground <br /> mining operations access active mine workings via the RTP. <br /> Roads to the L. S. Wood No. 3 Mine (MSHA ID No. 05- <br /> 00300) , the Bear Creek No. 4 Mine (MSHA ID No. 05-00351) , and the <br /> Coal Basin No. 5 Mine (MSHA ID No. 05-02342) are less frequently <br /> used and no longer subject to the type or volume of traffic that <br /> occurred during the 1970s. Nevertheless, access is necessary to <br /> service mine fans, electric powerlines, provide environmental <br /> maintenance, and the like. <br /> Mines Sealing S 75.1711 D R A F T <br /> MSHA Modification - 2 - 13-Nov-92 <br />
