Narrative

On 01/04/2011 a pillar fall occurred on the MMU 023-0 section. Water came from under the pillar gob and after two days accumulated in low areas and resulted in the secondary escapeway being blocked. MSHA determined that this was an ""inundation"". This report is being filed to avoid any further enforcement action.
