We checked the Radon monitor again this morning and will do
so every morning to determine if the system is working to EPA specifications. It was still high this morning even with the exhaust fan running 24/7. We had a meeting today with Jon Smith, Allegheny
Restoration, Claude Luke of Ohio Valley Coal and Steve the architect in charge. We discussed the possibility of sealing off the stone walls in the basement if the radon continues to be above 4 pCi/L which was the reading
after mining. Baseline for this room was 2.0 pCi/L before mining.
