It seems that they were shut down by township zoning ordnances. Apparently, the township required them to hook up to a sewer line; the sewer line that they had to hook up to was three stories ABOVE the level of the mine. They refused to do it, so the township told them that they had to close. That is the story that I got, anyway. The mine is still there, but USDCO is not. USDCO went out of business in 2003.
