Narrative

An unintentional roof fall occurred in the Main South Belt Entry at the 122+15 foot mark. The fall occurred due to the fact that the roof strata broke just above the anchor point. The fall area was originally supported with 4,5, and 6 foot conventional type roof bolts. Approaches to the fall area will be reinforced, fall area cleaned up and the fall area supported.
