G9eingy <br />Status of Application: <br />Pre-Sketch work session November 7, 1997; sketch plan to be submitted thereafter. <br />Proposed Project/Purpose: <br />This application proposes the construction of a 15' to 24' diameter ventilation shaft <br />to maintain adequate mine ventilation air flows. This shaft will extend approximately <br />450' from the ground surface and intercept the "B" Coal seam. Oxbow <br />commissioned a mine ventilation study to evaluate overall mine ventilation <br />requirements. The study results will help to determine the need and location of any <br />required degasification boreholes and whether the proposed ventilation shaft will be <br />an open intake or complete ventilation installation with fan, housing and <br />control/monitor systems. <br />Project Location: <br />The proposed ventilation shaft will be constructed adjacent to Substation No. 3 <br />which is approximately two miles east of the Somerset Town site. The proposed site <br />is on the old state highway ROW which serves as an alternative access to the mine; <br />the ventilation shaft will be approximately 300' from the existing highway ROW. <br />SPECIAL INFORMATION: <br />Water Source: <br />Oxbow owns four water rights including the following: 11 well permit decree # <br />79CW868; 2) Somerset Municipal Water Supply, Municipal Priority # J-91; 3) <br />Somerset Municipal Priority J-329; and 4) Water right decree 93CW97. <br />Waste Water: <br />No waste water facilities are proposed in association with this project <br />Attachments: <br />Site Plan <br />Vicinity map <br />
