ITEM 1.04 Mine Safety – Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.

 

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted into federal law. Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act requires a reporting company operating coal mines or with subsidiaries that operate coal mines to file a Current Report on Form 8-K upon receipt of written notice from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) of an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (“Mine Act”).

 

On September 24, 2019, CAM Mining LLC (“CAM”), a subsidiary of Rhino Resource Partners LP, received an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act which stated a mechanic was observed working on the front driver side brakes of the mine superintendent’s pick-up truck in the maintenance area of CAM’s Remining #3 surface mine. While the front of the truck was being held suspended approximately 4feet in the air by the cable on the boom of a mechanics truck, nothing was being used to block the truck from falling. The mechanic was observed leaning over the rotor while loosening the brake caliper. The maintenance foreman was also present assisting the mechanic while the work was being done. Crib blocks were present within close proximity of the area where the work was being done. The mechanic was removed from danger and the pick-up truck was lowered to the ground. These actions terminated the order.
