The mine employs 460 workers.
fro We're slowly getting back up
tJ running and employees are
being called back to work as
needed," said communications
manager Kelly Barton of compass
Minerals, Kansas City.
"'This has been a great team effort
on the part of employees to get
things hack to normal," she said.
Salt has been moving from Sifto
Salt Mine for nearly three weeks
and employment numbers are
increasing at the facility.
The company moved in a porta-
ble loading conveyor system and
loaded the Algonutrine with 27,00(

7. Following that, Sifto added a sec-
ond telescoping conveyor to help
decrease the loading time of lake
freighters.
From that initial load, Rowland
Howe, former mine manager and
director of Corporate Engineering
and Canada Country Executive,
said the company has loaded
about 10 lake freighters as they
attempt to trove and stockpile salt

'Ihe salt mine was severely dam-
aged in the Aug. 21 tornado that
struck Goderich and was the first
point of impact. Several storage
donees along the north pier were
damaged in the storm but the
recently completed storage facility
escaped serious damage.
Reconstruction work is still
ongoing at the company's evapo-
rator plant on the east side of town,
heavily damaged in the tornado.
Bowe said that there is no
production yet at the plant but that
staff is working diligently to get
production up and running there.
Some bagging operations are
underway.

workers and approximately 45
employees have been back on the
Job there getting the facility ready
to resume production. •
