This was an aerial inspection of the McClane Canyon Mine conducted by Harry Ranney of the
Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety(DRMS). Aerial photographs were taken on July
10, 2008 at approximately 11:31 a.m. Only one photograph was available for review. Weather
conditions appeared to be clear and sunny at the time of the flight. Mike Boulay of the DRMS
reviewed the aerial photograph.
The portal area of the mine site was visible in the photograph. The coal waste storage area and
the office location were not. The only activity discernible in the photograph is at the coal
stockpile where a loader was loading coal onto a haul truck. The portion of the mine site haul
road visible in the photograph was dry, and appeared well maintained and in good condition.
Ground conditions at the mine site were dry. The sediment pond was not visible in the
photograph.
The portal facilities area is well maintained. All site locations visible in the photograph appeared
stable and no significant erosion or other problems were identified with this aerial inspection.
