## Narrative

A high concentration of methane was found in our 3W-1st Left Seal Area. MSHA was notified at 9:30am and all miners were pulled from the mine. The investigation showed that our #8 De-gas well had been plugged for an unknown reason. A new well was drilled and the methane in the active areas of the mine was reduced to harmless levels.
