Geological Problems Reported

In the Herrin Coal workings, the roof was firm, well laminated, finely micaceous and silty, with abundant plant fossils. Roof falls were a problem, with some as much as 25-30 feet high. They occurred suddenly, with no warning, several weeks or months after mining. Many were attributed to roof rolls, slip fractures, and small local faults, but some appeared unrelated to roof structures or discontinuities. These falls occurred under a thinly-laminated, micaceous siltstone probably the result of bedding plane separation. Large masses of coal balls were also encountered in the coal, sometimes replacing most or all of the coal seam. The floor was typically siltstone or firm silty shale, but locally more claylike. It was generally firm, abrasive, and not prone to heave. The mine was usually dry. In the Springfield workings, the roof was gray shale, very carbonaceous and nearly black at the base. The coal was split in some locations by as much as 5 feet of massive siltstone. The floor was rooted claystone grading down to siltstone.

Notes

  1. ↑ The Herrin seam was inactive from 1995 to 2003.
  2. ↑ In 2006, the portion of the mine in the Herrin seam became known as New Era Mine, and the portion of the mine in the Springfield seam became known as Galatia North Mine.
  3. ↑ Production from 2000-2017 includes production for the Millennium Portal (mine index 1032).
