DIRECTORY AND STATISTICS OF DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND MINERALS

To facilitate the mine inspection duties of the Department, the coal fields have been divided into six inspection districts. A mine rescue station which serves as the district office is centrally located in each district. The Eastern Kentucky coal field is divided into five districts, with mine rescue stations located at Barbourville, Harlan, Hazard, Martin and Pikeville. An office at Madisonville serves the Western Kentucky coal field. The operations for the district offices are directed from the office of the Commissioner located in Frankfort. General staff and Frankfort office personnel are as follows: John L. Franklin, Commissioner Kenny Johnson, Deputy Commissioner 1. Cathy C. Prothro, Executive Secretary Principal Holly McCoy, Principal Assistant II William J. Morgan, Chief Examiner Stephan L. Taylor, General Counsel I Eugene D. Attkisson, Attorney III Mary K.

The Directory and Statistics of Coal Mines contained in the following pages is separated by Inspection Districts and by Counties. Code letters to classify mines are as follows: URC Underground Rail Coal URWC Underground Rail Water Coal UTC Underground Truck Coal UWC Underground Water Coal ARC Auger Rail Coal ASRC Auger Surface Rail Coal ASTC Auger Surface Truck Coal ASWC Auger Surface Water Coal ATC Auger Truck Coal AWC Auger Water Coal SRC Surface Rail Coal STC Surface Truck Coal SWC Surface Water Coal GSTC Gob Surface Truck Coal

Notations are made as follows:

A Abandoned C C Change of Company Name only C O Change of Operator and Company Name or Operator Name only * Estimated Tonnage Production, employment and accident figures for River mines have been included in the totals for Truck mines for the purpose of compiling some statistical charts. Many of the coal production figures of individual mines which appear herein have been estimated by the Department. This was necessary because the reports of the operators of those

mines, particularly mines which became abandoned during 2000, were delinquent at the time of publication. Some historic tonnage figures have been corrected using computer database error

correction.

BARBOURVILLE DISTRICT There were 46 commercial coal mines in the Barbourville District during 2000. 332 inspections were conducted along with 125 Notices of Noncompliance the Mine Safety and Health Division caused to be corrected.

TRAINING AND EDUCATION

The Training, Education and Certification Division was established in 1971, with a Federal grant from the Mine Enforcement and Safety Administration now known as the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The Division continues to be funded by MSHA with 80% of the Training, Education and Certification budget being provided by MSHA and the Commonwealth of Kentucky providing 20% of the budget. During the year of 2000, our instructors, who are stationed in six district offices located in the Eastern and Western coal fields, presented 2,999 class sessions and trained 9,978 miners from 1,523 mines. A total of 922 independent contractors were trained from 453 companies. Our instructors offered 30 different subjects and taught 10,497.5 hours of classroom instruction. In addition, 1,800 hours were spent testing 3,337 miners. Kentucky coal miners can receive some of their required training from independent trainers located throughout Kentucky. In order to help assure that good quality training is provided the Department of Mines and Minerals deems it necessary to certify all instructors (KRS 351.120). The total number of instructors certified by the Department after passing all phases of the examination as of December 31, 2000, was 707 Underground Mining Instructors, 119 Electrical Instructors, 362 Surface Instructors and 185 MET Instructors. Of the total, 13 Underground Mining Instructors, 4 Electrical Instructors, 19 Surface Mining Instructors and 13 MET Instructors were certified during 2000.

DEPARTMENT OF MINES AND MINERALS, MINING BOARD

The Mining Board as provided by Chapter 351, Paragraph 105, Kentucky Revised Statutes, was composed of the following members in 1998:

John L. Franklin……………. Chairman Pat Graham………………… Operator Member………………..............Eastern Kentucky Charles Dixon……………… Miner Member………………….. ............Eastern Kentucky Edgar Oldham……………….Miner Member……………….…............Western Kentucky Joseph G. Jacobs…………… Operator Member………………..............Eastern Kentucky Ben Spears…………………. Operator Member………………….........Western Kentucky John Sturgill……………….. Miner Member……………………. .........Eastern Kentucky Phillip Johnson Director, Miner Training, Education And Certification Division……………….Non-Voting Member

Pursuant to KRS 351.106, Underground Miner Training and Certification Regulations were implemented in October of 1977. During 1978, the required 48-hour inexperienced miner's program was prepared, and the first classes were taught in May of 1978. After the Underground Miner Training and Certification Regulations were implemented in October of 1977, the Board of Miner Training, Education and Certification established a date of November 1, l978, as the date all persons employed in underground mines should meet this requirement. Uniform one-day examinations for Mine Inspector, Underground Mine Foremen, Surface Mine Foreman, Underground Mine Instructor and Surface Mine Instructor were scheduled by the Board to meet the demand whenever it arose. Examinations were held in the Department offices in Lexington, and at various localities throughout the coal fields, whenever the number of applicants made it justifiable. Mr. William J. Morgan continues to serve as Chief Examiner throughout the Commonwealth. Examinations were multiple choice in character. Applicants were given written examinations on the following subjects: Mine Law; First Aid; Ventilation; Apparatus and Electricity; Fires and Explosives; General Mining Practices and Gases. Each applicant was tested on his/her ability to detect methane with a flame safety lamp and use of an anemometer in the calculation of the rate of air current flow. The miner was further required to prove his/her knowledge of safe mining practices in an interview with the Examiner and to indicate safe and practical methods of ventilation on a typical mine map. A list of those who successfully completed the required examination for foreman and inspector is shown on the following pages:

Franklin Reed, Director MINE SAFETY ANALYSIS DIVISION

The Mine Safety Analysis Division consists of 29 field personnel under the direct supervision of their respective district supervisor. The primary responsibility of the safety analyst is to prevent underground mine accidents and fatalities by observing and evaluating the work habits of persons involved in the direct production of coal and to contact, advise, and assist these persons on a one-to-one basis, correcting their unsafe or potentially hazardous actions. In 2000, they caused 4,276 unsafe actions or conditions to be corrected. The program has served the industry well as evidenced by the decrease of underground fatalities since its inception. There were six underground mining fatalities and six fatalities at surface operations during 2000. The goals of the Mine Safety Analysis program are to further reduce mining accidents by promoting and maintaining safety standards in the Commonwealth's coal mines thus preserving the mining industry's most valuable resource, The Miner.

EXPLOSIVES AND BLASTING DIVISION During 2000, 80 new General Blaster's Licenses were issued, and 1,727 General Licenses were renewed. Also, 68 new Limited Licenses were issued and 645 Limited Licenses were renewed. There were 117 General Examinations and 100 Limited Examinations given. To obtain a General or Limited Blaster's License, the applicant must pass the prescribed written examination and must have two years of practical blasting experience. Ten courses were offered at various locations around the state and were attended by 142 people. In 2000, 34 Blaster Certification Examinations were administered under the Memorandum of Agreement with the Cabinet for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection as mandated by the Federal Office of Surface Mining.

The Division of Explosives and Blasting continued its program of inspection, enforcement, education, and licensing of blasters in 2000. A total of 148 new blaster's licenses were issued during the calendar year 2000. Of these 148 new licenses, 80 were general blaster's licenses, and 68 were limited blaster's licenses. As of December 3l, 2000, there were 2,520 individuals holding current and valid Kentucky blaster's licenses. Of these, 1,807 were general licenses, and 713 were limited licenses. During 2000, well over 800 million pounds of explosives were detonated in Kentucky. This quantity represents 20% of the total explosives used in the entire United States. The division conducted five General Blaster's Training Courses and five Limited Training Courses throughout the Commonwealth in 2000. These classes were attended by 142 people who were primarily applicants for blaster's licenses. The locations and number of attendees in the thirty hours of instruction are listed as follows: Classes No. Attending Barbourville 8 Barbourville 9 Central City 7 Louisville 25 Nicholasville 13 These courses consist of thirty hours of instruction covering all aspects of explosives use. The purpose of the course is to raise the competency level of the blaster's in the field as well as assist those preparing to take the blaster's examination. The public is better protected and the blaster's work environment is safer when the blaster's ability is enhanced through training. The division conducted five Limited Blaster's Training Courses which is a course on blasting safety and techniques for small scale blasting operations. The locations and number of attendees in this class are listed as follows: Barbourville 12 Bowling Green 29 Falls of Rough 6 Midway 15 Stanford 18 The Explosives and Blasting Inspectors answer l00% of all public complaints received by this Division. These complaints primarily concern ground vibrations, noise, flyrock, and various other adverse effects of blasting. The inspector's investigation of the complaints involves inspection of the operation generating the complaint and extensive seismic monitoring. During 2000, the Division made 170 such investigations of public complaints and used the seismograph 72 times in order to resolve these complaints. In addition, the inspectors continue to make routine checks of all blasting operations to

ensure compliance with the laws and regulations governing the use of explosives. The Division inspects not only those companies using explosives, but also companies which manufacture, sell, store, and transport explosives. Forty companies, engaged in the sale or distribution of explosives in the Commonwealth, registered with the Division in 2000. The Department of Mines and Minerals, Division of Explosives and Blasting continues reviewing and issuing permits to purchase or receive explosives to coal mines, quarries, construction companies and individuals. As of December 31, 2000, 742 permits to purchase explosives were issued. During the year the Division has participated in a number of seminars sponsored by other state and federal agencies and educational institutions. It has been the aim to use every opportunity for education of the public and training of blasters in the safe use and associated hazards of explosives. The number of licensed blasters showed a slight decrease this year, continuing a trend that began in 1982 when there were over 4,700 licensed blasters. This drop in the number is due to the increased use of contracted shot service crews provided by the explosive companies, the retirement of licensees who were originally grandfathered into the system, and the more stringent training, testing, and experience requirements mandated by OSM for surface coal blasters.

OIL AND GAS DIVISION

At the close of 2000, the Oil and Gas Division had 12 field inspectors (one vacancy), 3 field supervisors and 7 employees (one vacancy) on its administrative staff. The Division migrated from a legacy VAX system to a customized Microsoft Sequel Server database in March of 2000 with assistance from the Ground Water Protection Council (GWPC). The migration included over 80,000 well records, 20,000 inspection records, 11,000 bond records and 10,000 company records. The customization related to permitting, transfers, field inspections, violations, tank battery inspections, idle well, gas storage fields, and bond characterization and forfeitures. In addition, a customized Microsoft Access front-end and backend was created for field inspectors, along with a front-end for the Kentucky Geological Survey Data system. The Division is currently working with the GWPC and several other states on implementation of a field inspection module which utilizes a pocket PC with GIS software. Implementation is planned for 2001.

PERMITTING AND WELL TRANSFERS During the year, the Division issued 1062 new permits primarily for new wells, but also includes permits for the deepening or reopening of existing wells. The top five counties receiving the most permits are in descending order as follows: Pike, Clinton, Knox, Floyd and Letcher. These counties accounted for 50% of the permits issued. Oil and gas operators transferred wells from one operator to another for a total of 806 wells. There were 226 new bonds posted totaling $531,500.00. A total of $208,000.00 was released as a result of proper abandonment or transfer to a successor operator. Available to the public is a weekly publication of permits issued identifying the permit number, operator name, farm name, county, Carter Coordinates, and target formation. This publication may be obtained on the Internet at the Division Web page: http://www.caer.uky.edu/kdmm/ong.htm.

COMPLIANCE AND FORFEITURES The Division issued 893 violations in 2000, which resulted in 124 being corrected and cleared, 109 being forfeited, and the remaining in a pending status of either having been granted an extension, or in the process of forfeiture. The amount of forfeited bonds was $124,500.00. The Division plugged 235

abandoned wells with funds from the abandoned well plugging fund for a total of $463,552. This resulted in an average plugging cost for the year of $1,973.00 per well.
