The initial deadline for installation of all communication and tracking systems in West Virginia underground mines, required by SB-247 and 56-4-9 of the West Virginia Code of State Regulations, was 12/31/08.  Due to approval difficulties with some systems, this office has revised these deadlines frequently.  It is important that the industry is aware that current compliance deadlines included in revised plans will not be extended beyond those delineated in the plans. 

 

If you have any questions please contact either your regional office or the State office, Director Ron Wooten.
