From today's Post Gazette: <br /> <br />"CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- All 70 of West Virginia's mine inspectors and <br />more than 200 federal counterparts will be in the field Monday, <br />attempting to inspect every coal mine in the Mountain State. <br /> <br />"The unprecedented move will cover each of the state's 350 deep mines <br />and 200 surface mines. The aggressive round of inspections was <br />ordered after Gov. Joe Manchin III called for operators to delay each <br />shift yesterday for an hour-long review of safety regulations. <br /> <br />"Federal mining officials also have asked all mine operators around <br />the country to conduct similar reviews of procedures, equipment and <br />compliance with standards in a "Stand Down for Safety" initiative on <br />Monday." <br /> <br />http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/06034/649274.stm <br /> <br />Implicitly, this should limit production on Monday. <br /> <br />Dave <br />
