Local economic context
ⓘCounty figures come from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey, 5-year pooled estimates, so the 2023 vintage covers 2019 through 2023. The Census category is 'mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction', which is broader than MSHA jurisdiction and includes oil and gas workers no mine employs. These figures describe the surrounding county, not this mine, and are not a factor in any specific incident.

At 3am working on plant shoveling. The Big hopper had metal gate w/2 slots (prevents product coming out of hopper). We shoveled dirt off belt. Belt stuck. We started it back up & went to bottom hopper & used 5# sledge hammer to open gate w/conveyor in operation. Opened metal gate & it flew up, EE grabbed it, putting his hand above conveyor & metal gate that was on conveyor
