In 2006 they started one near me. Since they were using some of my property, I was allowed to observed some of the goings on. Before they even started the intrance tunnel in a high wall, bubbles of gas were seen all over the face of the wall. Very dangerous sign to me. They shut down shortly after opening. They said the shale removal above the coal seam was too expensive an operation. But today Oklahoma Land & Mines gave some Chekoslavakians permission to re-open it.
