HANDLING OF MATERIALS · NO DYS AWY FRM WRK,NO RSTR ACT
Accident narrative
Employee was attempting to remove a sump pump through a manhole in the old landfill when they lost grip of the pump and their left middle finger became pinched between the manhole and the pump housing. Employee had a small laceration on the fingertip that required (1) suture to close.
ENTRAPMENT · ACCIDENT ONLY
Accident narrative
Found an issue with the 5th floor door flag so it was adjusted. They also adjusted the contacts on the flag on the 7th floor. They then rode the elevator to confirm the issue was resolved. Once they were comfortable, they turned it over to the plant operations to resume operations and monitored the elevator form the machine room for some time to confirm everything was working.
HANDLING OF MATERIALS · DAYS AWAY FROM WORK ONLY
Accident narrative
Employee was placing a vibrator on a gyp car, as EE was placing the vibrator on the bracket on the car, EE felt pain in EE's abdomen. Meet reportable criteria on 4/2/26 when EE had hernia surgery.

Accident narrative
Employee sustained a laceration to the left ring finger while attempting to remove a grinding-aid lance from #3 Finish Mill. Employee was taken to the ER for further evaluation and received 4 stitches.
HANDLING OF MATERIALS · NO DYS AWY FRM WRK,NO RSTR ACT
Accident narrative

Safety sources and definitions
MSHA Violations (issue date), Accidents (accident date), and Inspections (begin date). Snapshot 2026-10-18.
Counts describe published rows, including contractor records; accident records are not distinct incidents or numbers of people injured.
Zero means no matching records in the imported sources, not proof of no events. Historical coverage differs by source; absence before a source begins reporting is not a zero incident rate. Invalid or absent dates and records after the snapshot are excluded.
S&S means SIG_SUB=Y. Fatality records use DEGREE_INJURY_CD=01. Proposed penalties are not final assessed or paid amounts; missing dollar values are omitted.
Inspection hours are SUM_TOTAL_ON_SITE_HOURS attributed to the inspection start date, without supervisor/trainee hours. Missing hours are omitted; a started inspection may still be open.
Portfolio totals use current mine membership, including events before the current owner or operator's tenure.
CFR headings link to the current Title 30 index; they are not historical legal determinations.
OWNERSHIP
Operator and controller history
Current ownership comes from MSHA Mines. Historical start and end dates come from MSHA Controller and Operator History.

Silica and quartz
Coal quartz, metal/nonmetal personal samples and area samples. Snapshot Oct 18, 2026. 22 silica records across the mine’s published history.
Personal silica samples · concentration / limit
Quarterly mean · published C/E ratio
— No eligible measurements. * Quarter in progress. Means describe the available samples, not average exposure across the mine.
Quartz % is the sample’s quartz content; µg/m³ is its reported concentration. Personal C/E is the ratio to the limit published with that sample. Personal and area concentration units and void status are not specified in those source files.
| Date / sample | Dataset / analyte | Occupation / area | Measurement | Sample status | Published action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No silica records match these filters. Missing samples do not establish safe conditions. | |||||
Sources and interpretation
- Coal means use numeric concentrations from samples marked not voided, excluding control/invalid sample types and dates after the snapshot. Missing values remain null; reported zeroes remain zero.
- Quarterly means describe available samples, not mine-wide or worker-average exposure. Quarters with no eligible measurements remain empty; the current quarter is partial.
- Personal C/E is MSHA's published concentration-to-limit ratio. A value above 1 is not by itself a citation or a determination under the 2024 silica rule. Personal and area files do not publish a void-status field.
- Area records include bulk-dust analyses and are kept separate from personal exposure results. Their concentration units are not specified in the source dictionary.
- Missing samples do not establish safe conditions. Coal quartz percentage and concentration are separate measures. No compliance threshold is inferred for coal samples.
