COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the McClave Canyon Mine conducted on March 28, 2012 by Mike Boulay of
the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS). There was no operator representative present during
the inspection. Weather conditions were clear and warm. Ground conditions were dry. McClave Canyon Mine is
currently an inactive underground coal mining operation and in temporary cessation. There was very little activity
at the mine site since it is in temporary cessation. A few workers were present at the mine office.
