U. S. Department of Labor August 25, 2011 Mine Safety and Health Administration 100 Bluestone Road Mount Hope, WV 25880-1000 Mr. Don L, McKenzie Safety Director Eagle #1 Mine Rhino Eastern LLC P.O, Box260 Bolt, WV 25877 Dear Mr. McKenzie: In accordance with the Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) Pattern of Violations Procedures Summary (POV Procedures Summary), on November 19,2010 MSHA notified Rhino Eastern LLC that a Potential Pattern of Violations existed at Eagle #1 Mine, Mine ID 46-08758, Following this notification, you were provided a reasonable opportunity to respond, including a review of documents, and the opportunity to provide additional information as well as right to submit a written request for a conference with the District Manager. You also submitted a corrective action program to reduce the amount of significant and substantial (S&S) violations issued at your mine, We reviewed the progress of your program and concluded that Eagle #1 Mine achieved the target for its rate of S&S violations during the Pattern of Violations (POV) evaluation period set forth pursuant to regulation in MSHA' s POV Procedures Summary, and as stated in MSHA' s PPOV notification letter to you dated March 15, 2011, By achieving the targeted rate of S&S violations your mine was not considered for a Pattern of Violations notice pursuant to section 104(e)(1) of the Mine Act at that time, However, in accordance with the POV Procedures Summary, MSHA has continued to monitor Eagle #1 Mine for long term compliance, and has determined that the mine is not making a good faith effort to eliminate violations and has reverted back to PPOV status, MSHA' s Pattern of Violations Procedures Summary addresses this situation: mines that have received PPOV notifications; met the applicable requirements to terminate those notices; then reverted back to the pattern that caused the initial notification, In these cases, according to the POV Procedures Summary, mines shall be considered for further PPOV /POV actions, This letter is your notification that a potential pattern of violations again exists at the Eagle #1 Mine, This notification is based upon a review of the mine's S&S issuance rates after the evaluation period that ended in March 2011, The S&S issuance rate since that time is 24,77 violations per 100 inspection hour, which is a 243% increase over the S&S rate goal established in 'your November 2010 corrective action program, In addition, the mine also exhibits a potential pattern of violations using the most current enforcement and injury data and PPOV criteria, Prior to MSHA implementing Section 104(e) sanctions at the Eagle #1 Mine, you are once again provided the opportunity, not to exceed 20 days from the date of this notification, to take any or all of the following steps: Review all documents upon which the pattern of violations evaluation is based and provide additional mitigating information. Submit a written request for a conference with me (I shall hold any conference within 10 days of a request). Provide a written program to me indicating that you will institute a corrective action program to avoid repeated significant and substantial violations at the operation. Guidance on what constitutes an appropriate corrective action program is contained in the enclosed document entitled Pattern of Violations Procedures Summary (Appendix B- Guidelines for Corrective Action Programs). Please note that 30 C.F.R. § 104.4(d) requires that you post a copy of this letter oil. the mine bulletin board until you are notified of MSHA' s final determination with respect to your status under the regulations. As mentioned, your previous corrective action program (CAP) did not result in longterm improvements at your mine; appropriate CAPs must lead to long-term safety improvements at your mine. Under MSHA' s Pattern of Violations Procedures Summary, mines with appropriate CAPs must meet certain S&S reduction benchmarks within certain timeframes, while mines without appropriate CAPs must meet other, more stringent, benchmarks. Consistent with Procedures summary, MSHA will require you to reduce your S&S issuance rate to 3.81, which is the current rate for the top 35% of all underground bituminous coal mines, within 50 days from the date of the PPOV notice. MSHA will work with you to establish an appropriate CAP with benchmarks and goals and may allow an additional period, not exceed 90 days, to determine whether the program effectively reduces the recurrence of S&S violations at the mine. See 30 C.F.R. § 104.4(a)(4). I encourage you to implement an effective corrective action program with long-term goals for reducing violations beyond the goals established by MSHA under the POV Procedures. As stated in the POV Procedures summary, abandonment of corrective action programs after meeting the short-term POV goals will be a qualitative factor considered in later POV screenings and enhanced enforcement activity. Whether or not you implement a corrective action program, MSHA will conducta complete inspection of the Eagle #1 Mine. This inspection may start as soon as October 1, 2011. I will analyze the results of this complete inspection and other on-site enforcement activities conducted during the corrective action period to evaluate whether the Eagle #1 Mine has effectively controlled the occurrence of S&S violations during the review period. If you implement a corrective action program and are given an additional 90 days, but do not achieve a rate of S&S violations at or below the applicable levels set forth in the paragraph above, in accordance with 30 C.F.R. Section 104.5(b), I will submit an evaluation report to the Administrator for Coal Mine Safety and Health within 120 days from the date of this notification. If you choose not to implement a program to reduce S&S violations, I will submit the report of the evaluation to the Administrator within 60 days from the date of this notification. In both cases, a copy of the report of evaluation will be provided to you and the representative of the miners if applicable 10 days before the report is sent to the Administrator. Both you and the miners' representative, where applicable, will have 10 days from the receipt of the report to submit written comments to the Administrator. Within 30 days of receipt of my report to the Administrator, the Administrator will issue a decision as to whether the Eagle #1 Mine is to be issued a Notice of a Pattern of Violations. A copy of the decision will be provided to you and the representative of the miners if applicable. If the Administrator decides to issue a Notice of Pattern of Violations, I will issue the Notice of Pattern of Violations to you. A copy of the notice will also be provided to the representative of miners, where applicable. Following issuance of a Notice of Pattern of Violations, I will initiate appropriate inspection activities to ensure that the Eagle #1 Mine is inspected in its entirety during the following 90-day time frame and each succeeding inspection cycle until the Pattern of Violation order is terminated. If upon any inspection after the issuance of the Pattern of Violations Notice an authorized representative finds any violation of a mandatory health or safety standard ·.which could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a safety or health hazard, the inspector shall issue an order requiring the withdrawal of all persons in the area affected by the violation except those persons listed in 104(c) of the Mine Act. All persons, except as listed in 104(c) of the Mine Act, shall also be prohibited from entering that area until the inspector determines that such violation has been abated. Termination of a Pattern of Violations notice shall occur when an inspection of the entire mine results in no significant and substantial violations or no withdrawal order is issued by MSHA in accordance with section 104(e)(1) of the Act within 90 days of the issuance of the pattern letter. You may request an inspection of the entire mine or portions of the mine at any time. No advance notice of the inspection shall be provided and MSHA will determine the scope of each inspection. Partial inspections that cumulatively cover the entire operation within the 90-day period will constitute an inspection of the entire operation for the purposes of termination of a Pattern of Violations Notice. Please contact me at (304) 877-3900 if you have any questions regarding this matter. Additional mitigating information, requests for a conference and/ or a-written plan to institute a corrective action program should be sent to me at: 100 Bluestone Road, Mount Hope, WV 25880.
