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 “Act”) was enacted. Section 1503 of the Act requires a Current Report on Form 8-K if a company is issued an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”).
On April 28, 2022, Peabody Powder River Mining, LLC, a subsidiary of Peabody Energy Corporation (the “Company”), received an imminent danger order under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act at the North Antelope Rochelle Mine located near Gillette, Wyoming (“NARM”). On that date, an MSHA representative alleged that there was an overhanging highwall in an area of the mine. NARM personnel barricaded the affected area to prevent miners from traveling or working under the affected area and the 107(a) order was terminated less than four hours after issuance. No injuries resulted from the condition and production at the mine was interrupted but has resumed. The Company denies that the condition constitutes an imminent danger under the Mine Act and intends to contest the 107(a) order.
