Narrative

Borehole with a pvc pipe in it allowed surface water from a field to enter mine at the 2nd East Mains Parallel - entry 11 - approx 17+65 Sta. Water gathered at the end of the 2nd East Main Parallel. It appears that a farmer knocked the top off the pipe. The borehole appears to reach the 6 seam only. Wildcat Hills did not drill this borehole. In response to citation # 9105311
