SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and
SUMMARY:

Jkt 253001

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
1. An alternative method of achieving
the result of such standard exists which
will at all times guarantee no less than
the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. The application of such standard to
such mine will result in a diminution of
safety to the miners in such mine.
In addition, sections 44.10 and 44.11
of 30 CFR establish the requirements for
filing petitions for modification.
II. Petition for Modification
Docket Number: M–2021–030–C.
Petitioner: Rosebud Mining Company,
301 Market Street, Kittanning,
Pennsylvania (ZIP 16201).
Mine: Heilwood Mine, MSHA ID No.
36–09407, located in Indiana County,
Pennsylvania.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1700
(Oil and gas wells).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard, 30 CFR 75.1700, as it relates
to oil and gas wells at the mine.
Specifically, the petitioner is proposing
procedures for: Cleaning out and
preparing oil and gas wells prior to
plugging or re-plugging; procedures for
plugging or re-plugging oil or gas wells
to the surface; procedures for plugging
or replugging oil or gas wells for use as
degasification boreholes; alternative
procedures for preparing and plugging
or re-plugging oil or gas wells; and
procedures after approval has been
granted to mine through a plugged or replugged well.
The petitioner states that:
(a) The Heilwood Mine is opened into
the Lower Kittanning Coal seam and
accesses the Brookville coal seam via an
inter mine slope. Coal is produced in
one underground section using a
continuous mining machine and a
continuous haulage system. The mine
operates one production shift per day, 5
to 6 days per week, producing an
average of 800 tons of raw coal per day.
The mine employs 20 persons
underground and 5 on the surface.

(b) The Heilwood Mine uses a room
and pillar method of mining. A
continuous miner with attached haulage
develops main entries. After the mains
are established butts, rooms, and/or
panels are developed off of the mains.
The length of the rooms and/or panels
can typically extend a distance of 600
feet to over 6,000 feet, depending on
permit boundaries, projections, and
conditions.
(c) The Heilwood Mine permit
contains oil or gas wells that have been
depleted of oil or gas production,
producing wells, and oil or gas wells
that have not produced oil or gas and
may have been plugged. These wells
would alter the mining projections for
the life of the mine and not allow for the
most efficient use of air available to the
mine if the barrier established by 30
CFR 75.1700 were to remain in place.
The petitioner proposes the following
alternative method:
(a) District Manager’s approval is
required.
(1) The type of oil or gas well that will
be considered under this petition
includes wells that have been depleted
of oil or gas production, have not
produced oil or gas and may have been
plugged, and active wells. No Marcellus
and Utica wells are contained within
the Heilwood Mine Permit and subject
to this modification.
(2) A safety barrier of 300 feet in
diameter (150 feet between any mined
area and a well) shall be maintained
around all oil and gas wells (to include:
All active, inactive, abandoned, shut-in,
and previously plugged wells; water
injection wells; and carbon dioxide
sequestration wells) until approval to
proceed with mining has been obtained
from the District Manager. Wells that
were drilled into potential oil or gas
producing formations that did not
produce commercial quantities of either
gas or oil (exploratory wells, wildcat
wells, or dry holes) are classified as oil
or gas wells by MSHA.
(3) Prior to mining within the safety
barrier around any well that the mine
plans to intersect, the mine operator
shall provide to the District Manager a
sworn affidavit or declaration executed
by a company official stating that all
mandatory procedures for cleaning out,
preparing, and plugging each gas or oil
well have been completed as described
by the terms and conditions of the
Decision and Order.
(4) The affidavit or declaration must
be accompanied by all logs described in
(b)(8) and (b)(9) below and any other
records which the District Manager may
request. The District Manager will
review the affidavit or declaration, the
logs, and any other records, may inspect
