Item 1.04 Mine Safety Reporting or Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations
On February 12, 2015 one of our coal mines located in Oaktown, Indiana, was issued an Imminent Danger Order (IDO) under 107(a) of the Mine Act. A miner was observed cutting a piece of pipe with a gas powered chain saw. Prior to beginning his cut the employee failed to don proper personal facial protective equipment. The violation occurred above ground. The miner was immediately stopped and retrained without further incident.
We have asked for a conference with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to discuss the issuance of this IDO. We do believe this to be a violation of The Act but deny it warranted an IDO.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
