Notes
On 4/10/2023 TDEC was notified of a smoldering fire in refuse on the Cooper Ridge Deep Mine. TDEC notified Kopper Glo, OSMRE, and MSHA that day. On 4/11/2022 inspector Bonnie Craighead made a site inspection and determined the refuse was still smoldering. Kopper Glo indicated they would have equipment on site on 4/12. On 4/12 TDEC inspectors made a follow-up inspection. Contractor Russell Napier and employees were on site with a water truck. Water was pumped from a sump near the deep mine into the truck and applied to the fire. The water from the fire drained back into the sump. The water level in the sump was low, so the sump was not discharging into pond 001. Mr. Napier said he would have more equipment on site on 4/13 to move the smoldering material in order to fully extinguish the fire. This site is in compliance with the NPDES permit.
