Item 1.04 Mine Safety—Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
On October 21, 2014, the Corporation received an order issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 at its Weeping Water Mine in Weeping Water, Nebraska. The order stated that the size and condition of the pillars in the escape route do not provide the necessary support and allows the potential collapse of the back or loose material in the primary escape route in the mine which is also used to transport fuels and explosives as needed. The order also stated that the lack of ground support exposes miners to fatal crushing injury. No one was injured in the cited incident. The Corporation is taking corrective action.
