These are separate measures, not a silica exceedance count. Silica results and sample status are shown separately. 4. **PRODUCTION — No published quarter:** Quarterly production and employment The source remains registered, but no mine-keyed quarterly production row was published. 5. **LEGAL — 460 linked rows:** Contests, conferences and decisions 229 contested-violation rows, 229 civil-penalty docket/decision rows, and 2 conference records linked by issuance number. 6. **CONTRACTORS — 1 linked entities:** Contractors Contractors are linked through this mine’s violation or accident records. Their production and hours cover all their operations, so they are not included in this mine’s totals. 7. **INSPECTIONS — 0 since 2021:** Inspections 95 inspection events and 4K published inspection hours across the historical record. ## EIA annual operating context No matched record in the 2024 EIA coal-public workbook. This may be inapplicable for a non-coal operation. ## Recent Title 30 crosswalk Snapshot current through 2026-08-19. - **30 CFR 75.902 — Low- and medium-voltage ground check monitor circuits.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-J/section-75.902 - **30 CFR 75.518 — Electric equipment and circuits; overload and short circuit protection.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-F/section-75.518 - **30 CFR 75.1714-3 — Self-rescue devices; inspection, testing, maintenance, repair, and recordkeeping.** (2 retained recent rows) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-R/section-75.1714-3 - **30 CFR 75.512 — Electric equipment; examination, testing and maintenance.** (2 retained recent rows) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-F/section-75.512 - **30 CFR 75.1100-3 — Condition and examination of firefighting equipment.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-L/section-75.1100-3 - **30 CFR 75.333 — Ventilation controls.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-D/section-75.333 - **30 CFR 75.342 — Methane monitors.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-D/section-75.342 - **30 CFR 75.503 — Permissible electric face equipment; maintenance.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-F/section-75.503 - **30 CFR 75.1725 — Machinery and equipment; operation and maintenance.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-R/section-75.1725 - **30 CFR 75.1710 — Canopies or cabs; diesel-powered and electric face equipment.** (1 retained recent row) — https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-30/chapter-I/subchapter-O/part-75/subpart-R/section-75.1710 ## Source coverage - **Accident, Injuries, and Illnesses:** 3 rows; 2010-10-14 through 2014-11-20; source ID `msha-accidents` - **Addresses of Record:** 1 rows; 2016-02-22 through 2016-02-22; source ID `msha-addresses` - **Assessed Violations:** 442 rows; 2009-01-26 through 2015-10-14; source ID `msha-assessed-violations` - **Civil Penalty Dockets and Decisions:** 229 rows; 2011-05-24 through 2016-06-30; source ID `msha-civil-penalty-dockets-decisions` - **Coal Dust Samples:** 476 rows; 2008-12-04 through 2015-09-23; source ID `msha-coal-dust-samples` - **Conferences:** 2 rows; 2013-10-29 through 2013-10-29; source ID `msha-conferences` - **Contested Violations:** 229 rows; 2010-04-05 through 2016-01-15; source ID `msha-contested-violations` - **Contractor Employment and Production — Quarterly:** 106 rows; unknown through unknown; source ID `msha-contractor-production-quarterly` - **Contractor Employment and Production — Yearly:** 27 rows; unknown through unknown; source ID `msha-contractor-production-yearly` - **Controller and Operator History:** 4 rows; 2008-01-24 through 2008-08-18; source ID `msha-controller-operator-history` - **Inspections:** 95 rows; 2008-03-04 through 2016-01-15; source ID `msha-inspections` - **Mine Employment and Production — Yearly:** 16 rows; unknown through unknown; source ID `msha-mine-production-yearly` - **Mines:** 1 rows; unknown through unknown; source ID `msha-mines` - **Noise Samples:** 48 rows; 2009-01-26 through 2015-02-27; source ID `msha-noise-samples` - **Quartz Samples — Coal:** 7 rows; 2010-01-07 through 2015-08-26; source ID `msha-quartz-samples` - **Violations:** 451 rows; 2009-01-26 through 2015-10-14; source ID `msha-violations` ## Caveats - This is public-record decision support, not legal advice or an official MSHA record. - Missing data can indicate no event, publication delay, an unresolved identity, or inapplicability. - Contractor production data is entity-level and is not attributed to this mine. ## Alternate representations - HTML: `/mines/no-8-4407214` - JSON: `/api/v1/mines/no-8-4407214` - Silica records, units, sample status and quarterly means: `/api/v1/mines/4407214/silica` (snapshot year by default; `?year=all` for history; `&format=csv` for all matching rows) - Relationship JSON: `/api/v1/mines/4407214/relationships` - MCP resource: `mine://4407214/assessment` - Complete Title 30 corpus: `/data/title30-sections.json`
