## Narrative

While cleaning the coal seam a dozer contacted the casing of a plugged gas well in the DII Area pit. Pressurized gas started blowing from the well. The dozer was backed away from the well and the area was evacuated. THERE WAS NO FIRE.  It was determined the upper well plug was incorrectly located at the top of the coal seam instead of below the seam.
