Section 805 KAR 5:070 - Minimum requirements for roof support and the roof control plan approval process

RELATES TO: KRS 352.201

NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 352.201 requires each underground coal mine to formulate and follow an approved roof control plan. This proposed administrative regulation establishes those minimum standards for roof support and the roof control plan approval process.

Section 1. Definitions. The definitions established in KRS 351.010 and 352.010 shall apply to this administrative regulation, in addition to those set out below:

(1) "Automated temporary roof support" or "ATRS" means a mechanical device used to temporarily support the roof while roof bolts are being installed.

(2) "Automated temporary roof support system" means the devices and mechanisms - including the ATRS - used, and methods followed by which ATRS is activated and set to support the roof.

(3) "Mining height" means the distance between the bottom of the coal seam and the bottom of permanent mechanical roof support, and specifically does not include or apply to the brushing of top or bottom for construction work and to coal left unmined for purposes of providing additional roof support.

(4) "Pillar recovery" means any reduction in pillar size during retreat mining.

(5) "Roof control plan" means the plan and its revisions which has been adopted by the licensee for support of the mine roof and approved by the commissioner or his authorized representative pursuant to KRS 352.201(1).

Section 2. Mining Methods.

(1) The method of mining shall not expose any person to hazards caused by excessive widths of rooms, crosscuts and entries, or faulty pillar recovery methods. Pillar dimensions shall be compatible with effective control of the roof, face, ribs and coal or rock bursts.

(2) A sightline or other method of directional control shall be used to maintain the projected direction of mining in entries, rooms, crosscuts and pillar splits.

(3) A sidecut shall be started only from an area that is supported in accordance with the roof control plan.

(4) A working face shall not be mined through into an unsupported area of active workings, except when the unsupported area is inaccessible.

(5) Additional roof support shall be installed where:

(a) The width of the opening specified in the roof control plan is exceeded by more than twelve (12) inches; and

(b) The distance over which the excessive width exists is more than five (5) feet.

Section 3. Roof Bolting.

(1) For roof bolts and accessories addressed in American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM, F 432-95), the licensee shall:

(a) Obtain a manufacturer's certification that the material was manufactured and tested in accordance with the specifications of ASTM; and

(b) Make this certification available to an authorized representative of the commissioner.

(2) Roof bolts and accessories not addressed in the material incorporated by reference may be used, if the use of those roof bolts and accessories is approved by the commissioner or his authorized representative based on:

(a) Demonstrations which show that the materials have successfully supported the roof in an area of a coal mine with similar strata, opening dimensions and roof stresses; or

(b) Tests which show the materials to be effective for supporting the roof in an area of the affected mine which has strata, opening dimensions and roof stresses similar to those in the area where the roof bolts are to be used; during the test process, access to the test area shall be limited to persons necessary to conduct the test.

(3) A bearing plate shall be firmly installed with each roof bolt.

(4) A bearing plate used directly against the mine roof shall be at least six (6) inches square, except that if the mine roof is firm and not susceptible to sloughing, bearing plates five (5) inches square may be used.

(5) A bearing plate used with wood or metal materials shall be at least four (4) inches square.

(6) Wooden materials that are used between a bearing plate and the mine roof in an area which will be used for three (3) years or more shall be treated to minimize deterioration.

(7) When washers are used with roof bolts, the washers shall conform to the shape of the roof bolt head and bearing plate.

(8) The diameter of a finishing bit shall be within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.030 inch of the manufacturer's recommended hole diameter for the anchor used.

(9) When separate finishing bits are used, they shall be distinguishable from other bits.

Section 4. Tensioned Roof Bolts.

(1) Roof bolts that provide support by creating a beam of laminated strata shall be at least thirty (30) inches long. Roof bolts that provide support by suspending the roof from overlying stronger strata shall be long enough to anchor at least twelve (12) inches into the stronger strata.

(2) Test holes, spaced at intervals specified in the roof control plan, shall be drilled to a depth of at least twelve (12) inches above the anchorage horizon of the bolts being used. When a test hole indicates that bolts would not anchor in competent strata, corrective action shall be immediately taken.

(3) The installed torque or tension ranges for roof bolts as specified in the roof control plan shall maintain the integrity of the support system and shall exceed neither the yield point of the roof bolt nor anchorage capacity of the strata.

(4) In each roof bolting cycle, the actual torque or tension of the first tensioned roof bolt installed with each drill head shall be measured immediately after it is installed. Thereafter, for each drill head used, at least one (1) roof bolt out of every four (4) installed shall be measured for actual torque or tension. If the torque or tension of any of the roof bolts measured is not within the range specified in the roof control plan, corrective action shall be taken.

(5) In a working place from which coal is produced during any portion of a twenty-four (24) hour period, the actual torque or tension on at least one (1) out of every ten (10) previously installed, mechanically anchored, tensioned roof bolts shall be measured from the outby corner of the last open crosscut to the face in each advancing section. Corrective action shall be taken if the majority of the bolts measured:

(a) Do not maintain at least the following percentages of the minimum torque or tension specified in the roof control plan:

1. Seventy (70) percent; or

2. Fifty (50) percent if the roof bolt plates bear against wood;

(b) Have exceeded the maximum specified torque or tension by fifty (50) percent.

(6) The licensee or a person designated by him shall certify by signature and date that measurements required by subsection (5) of this section have been made. This certification shall be maintained for at least one (1) year and shall be made available to an authorized representative of the commissioner and representatives of the miners.

(7) A tensioned roof bolts installed in the roof support pattern shall not be used to anchor trailing cables or used for any other purpose that could affect the tension of the bolt. The hanging of trailing cables, line brattice, telephone lines, or other similar devices which do not place a sudden load on the bolts is permitted.

(8) An angle compensating device shall be used when tensioned roof bolts are installed at an angle greater than five (5) degrees from the perpendicular to the bearing plate.

(9) The first nontensioned grouted roof bolt installed during each roof bolting cycle shall be tested during or immediately after the first row of bolts has been installed. If the bolt tested does not withstand at least 150 foot-pounds of torque without rotating in the hole, corrective action shall be taken.
