Narrative

A 15 foot drop raise was drilled and shot. When it was blasted there was damage to the nose pillar, which in turn eroded into the back of the intersection beyond the anchorage of the ground support, which was noticed on 11/27/12, which was 3 days after the blasting of the drop raise. Upon noticing the failure it was reported to an MSHA inspector on site for a regular inspection.
