COMMENTS
This was a complete inspection of the McClane Canyon Mine conducted on June 20,2013 by Mike Boulay of the
Division of Reclamation,Mining, and Safety(DRMS). Randy Swiney Maintenance Director of McClane Canyon
Mining (MCM)was at the mine office and I spoke with him prior to the inspection. Chuck Silengo and Jim
Riddle were underground in the mine at the time of the inspection. Apparently some coal sloughage from the ribs
in the southern section of the mine had occurred. MCM personnel were underground to inspect that portion of the
mine. No operator representative was available to accompany me during the inspection. McClane Canyon Mine
is currently an inactive underground coal mining operation and is in temporary cessation.

Weather conditions were sunny and warm and ground conditions were dry. East Salt Creek had very little flow.
Drainage structures and diversion culverts in the portal area were clear of debris and functional. The catchment
basins for the large diversions at the upper end of the portals area were all dry and well maintained. The mine was
discharging water during the inspection. The mine discharge point to a diversion culvert is located on the north
side of the portals area(see attached Photograph No. 1). The sediment pond was containing a very small amount
of muddy water at a level of about 3-4 feet below the spillway(Photograph No. 2). The silt fences located on the
northeast side of the access road bridge and at the entrance to the road accessing the subsoil and topsoil pile
locations were properly keyed in and appeared functional. Site sediment control features were in good working
order throughout the site.
