Arch Coal’s Dugout Canyon mine recently eclipsed more than two years of mining without any lost time accidents for its employees, and the adjacent Castle Valley Preparation Plant is now going on five years without a lost time accident. While a May 6, 2011 accident did result in lost time for a contractor, employees have accrued more than 1M manhours of work without an accident, far below the national rate. Even including the contractor accident, the mine is far below the national injury rate.

St. Louis, US-based coal producer Arch Coal’s subsidiary Canyon Fuel Company said on July 9 that it is working closely and cooperatively with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) with the goal of resuming operations at its Dugout coal mine as soon as possible
The mine in Carbon County, Utah, where production has been temporarily idled since June 22, 2010 due to an ignition incident at the longwall, has had a remote monitoring system installed that will help determine whether any combustion activity is occurring.

For the second time this year, the Dugout Canyon coal mine in Carbon County has been shut down by federal mine safety regulators because of a “heating event.”
The mine operator, Canyon Fuel Co., voluntarily evacuated the mine at 8:15 a.m. Tuesday after evidence of a “heating event” potentially came from a section of Dugout Canyon recently excavated by a longwall mining machine, said Kim Link, a spokeswoman for Canyon Fuel’s parent company, St. Louis-based Arch Coal Co.
