Important Starting Information

AOL Users: We have had numerous reports from users who use AOL's web browser to view this application. They have reported that the application fails. If you are experiencing this, please use another browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox to view this site.

Please Read: MSHA's Data Retrieval System (DRS) is based on the history of each mine. Many mines have been owned by more than one operator during their histories. We are now providing you with the "Operator History" for each of the mine searches you do. (See More...)


Please Note: We update a majority of the information on the Data Retrieval System weekly, early Friday mornings. Dust Sampling Data is updated daily. The information provided by the Data Retrieval System is based on data gathered from various MSHA systems. As there may be a lag time in data being entered into those systems, there will also be a lag in the reflection of that data on the DRS.

Mine Information/Contractor Information Search Instructions
    Please enter a valid MSHA Mine ID or Contractor ID, if you know it. This is the quickest and most concise way to search for information. Another way to search is by name of the operator/contractor or mine name. You may enter a portion of the name or all of it, if you know the name. The more information you provide, the more refined your results will be.

If you do not know the Mine ID, use this function. You may search by entering an operator's name, a partial operator's name or a mine name or partial mine name. You may further refine your search by selecting a state for your search. If you wish to further refine your search, you may select whether it is a coal operation or metal/nonmetal operation. You will be given all mines if no choice is made. By default, we are only providing you all mines that are not in an "Abandoned Status". After submitting your request you will be presented with a listing of results that are sorted by state and operator name. At the right hand side of each column is an icon that reads "More Info". This will provide you with mine-specific information and also other reports for that mine.
