   Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The Bureau of Deep Mine Safety has approved a request for variance from Maple Creek Mining, Inc. The following notification contains a summary of this request. Complete copies of the variance request may be obtained from Matthew A. Bertovich by calling (412) 439-7469.

   Summary of the Request: Maple Creek Mining has requested a variance to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entries with other entries at the Maple Creek Mine.

   Summary of the Decision: The basis for the Bureau's determination for approval can be summarized in the following statements:

   1.  The area covered by the variance was previously a double track haulage. By installing the belt in ''C'' track entry, additional needed intakes and return entries have been provided. Also, the belt is totally isolated from the adjacent track/trolley entry.

   2.  The main intake entries are pressurized, and the main source of ventilation to the working sections.

   3.  An early warning fire detection system is provided.

   The proposed system will minimize the amount of air on the belt entryway necessary for effective ventilation and will still enable the belt entryway to act as an escapeway from the face to the main air current. The entryway being ventilated in common with the belt entryway is neutral and will not contain potential fire sources.
