Narrative

Approximately 80' past the Deep Star cross cut wash bay, in the direction of the Deep Star Mine the left rib (east rib) springline area sloughed in. The ground fall was approximately 20' long and 18' high. Utilities were dropped to the sill with minor damage. The ground fall resulted in blockage of the Deep Post secondary escapeway, loss of ventilation, and loss of water.
