Narrative

Upon inspection of the Cooks Branch elevator shaft, it was discovered that the elevator doors were not properly working and needed to be repaired. This shaft is not used to portal miners or supplies and is not the primary or secondary means for escapeway from the mine. Parts have been ordered to repair the doors and the mines will continue to maintain the elevator.
