Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Act") was enacted. Section 1503 of the Act contains new reporting requirements regarding mine safety, including disclosing on a Current Report on Form 8-K the receipt of an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act") issued by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA").
On May 5, 2011, a third-party contractor for ICG Knott County, LLC, a subsidiary of International Coal Group, Inc., received an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Mine Act. ICG Knott County retained a third-party contractor to perform general housekeeping services on the surface at its Classic Mine. MSHA issued the 107(a) imminent danger order asserting that the contractor’s employee failed to wear safety glasses while using a gasoline-powered weed-eater to cut weeds at the mine site. The withdrawal order alleges that the weeds were “waist-high in some areas and have stalks measuring 3/8 of an inch in diameter.” The order notes that actual grass and weed clippings were observed to be physically present on the employee’s face in close proximity to his eyes. The withdrawal order was immediately terminated when the worker put on his safety glasses. While the Classic Mine is an underground mine, all events noted in the order occurred on the surface.
