The annual report totals for the number of inspections for the years 2000, 2001 and 2002 reflect individual inspectors on-site. For example, mines that are below the water table require two inspectors on a single inspection. In the years 2000 - 2002, these instances were counted as two inspections instead of one. The correct number of inspections performed is as follows:
2000 - 1,048
2001 - 1,584
2002 - 2,066
Please call the Division of Safety Inspection and Licensing (502) 573-0140 with any questions about the annual reports.
