Iron Mountain facility

The abandoned mines have provided opportunities for underground storage facilities since 1954. The Iron Mountain Corporation merged with the longtime owner of the facility in 1998 and operates a large storage facility located in a former limestone mine close to Boyers. The Corbis photographic collection is stored there.

The United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) operates a highly secure facility in an abandoned mine in Boyers which contains all the documents from security clearance proceedings.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". OPM also operates its processing center for retired federal employees in Boyers. At an underground limestone mine, the retirement of federal employees is processed on paper by hand, and the information is stored in file cabinets. It takes an average of 61 days to process the retirement of each federal employee.[1]
