Mine Tour - January 20, 2006

Occupational Medicine residents Joe Eshelman, Kashif Khan and Luci Kovacevic along with Martha Summers, RN visited the CONSOL Corporation's Blacksville Number 2 mine in Kuhntown, PA. Coal mined at the Blacksville Number 2 mine is a small part of the Pittsburgh Number 8 Seam. The Pittsburgh Number 8 Seam extends from just north of Pittsburgh, PA, south to Clarksburg, WV and from just east of Appalachian Mountains and then in a westerly direction past the Ohio River and on into Central Ohio.

The Blacksville Number 2 Mine was started in the 1970's and since very early in its operational life has had effects in 2 states - Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where the exit for the mined coal is. Since the coal physically exits from the ground in West Virginia, West Virginia state mining laws govern the operation of the mine, regardless of where the actual digging is taking place. (Mining operations are also governed by Federal mining and occupational safety and health regulations.)

Martha, where's your helmet?
