## Narrative

There was a slough that occurred in Pit#24 about 250 feet east from the active pit. A Komatsu 490 track hoe was sloping the area when the slough occurred and partially buried the track hoe. Under the direction of MSHA a plan was implemented and the track hoe was removed with little exposure to any miner.
