Narrative

Excessive rain caused the highwall above the belt portal entry to erode. The additional weight of the wet material on the canopy caused the portal canopy to partially collapse onto the belt conveyor. Ventilation was not affected ant there were no injuries or equipment involved. A new canopy has been installed.
