Narrative

Miner was cutting in the #3 entry near S/S 1090 on the 3-Right Section when it cut into a borehole. The borehole was on the mine map and was not fully grouted, causing an inundation of water to come into the section. The water did not impede ventilation or escapeways and was plugged immediately.
