Item 1.04 Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
On November 19, 2014, Knife River Corporation - North Central, an indirect subsidiary of MDU Resources Group, Inc., received a written imminent danger order issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The imminent danger order was issued at the Mark Pit in St. Cloud, Minnesota, upon observation of two miners crossing the screen deck of an aggregate crusher without adequate fall protection or other fall restraint system in place to prevent a fall from the screen deck. The miners were crossing over from one side of the screen to the other and not utilizing the access ladders for access from the work decks on either side. Upon observation the miners came down from the screen deck, thereby terminating the order.
