MSHA sampling at Log Creek Underground shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.63 mg/m3 (97% compliant) across 145 samples.
Health sampling
ⓘA sample is a point in time compliance measurement, not an individual exposure history. These figures describe MSHA sampling records and do not establish causation or personal dose.
Respirable coal dust
ⓘRespirable coal dust and silica figures cover coal facilities. Dust compliance is measured against the current 1.5 mg/m3 standard; samples predating the 2014 standard are included, so compliance rates are a coarse historical signal.
Quarterly safety rates
ⓘCitations per million reported employee-hours. Rates begin in 2000, when MSHA's quarterly employment data starts; earlier incidents are counted but cannot be rate-adjusted. Quarters under 100,000 reported hours are greyed: too few hours for a stable rate.

A roof fall at the 23 crosscut was discovered while doing the weekly with a Federal Inspector present. The fall was in the #6 entry on 2 mains. The fall measured 18'by 80'by 12' high. The fall fell on the hi-line going to the section.
Rainfall event far exceeded national standard for Bottom Development Plan standards. Pumps were unable to keep up with the amount of water coming in to the pit.
Water in the roof caused the strength of the overburden to degrade. Also, poor geological conditions were recognized being present due to sharp elevation change over a short distance.
