COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the McClave Canyon Mine conducted on May 9, 2012 by Mike Boulay of the
Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS). Chuck Silengo of McClane Canyon Mining (MCM) was
present for a portion of the inspection. Weather conditions were sunny and warm. McClane Canyon Mine is
currently an inactive underground coal mining operation and is in temporary cessation. There was very little
activity at the mine site since it is in temporary cessation. A few workers were doing some routine maintenance at
the shop and warehouse.
