Section 1503. Mine Safety Disclosures

On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act, was enacted. Section 1503 of the Act contains reporting requirements regarding mine safety. We are committed to providing a safe workplace for all of our employees, including those working at our quarries. The operation of our quarries is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, or MSHA, under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, or the Mine Act. MSHA inspects our quarries on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. Below, we have included information regarding certain mining safety and health citations that MSHA has issued with respect to our quarry operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. In evaluating this information, consideration should be given to factors such as: (i) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of the quarry, (ii) the number of citations issued will vary from inspector-to-inspector and mine-to-mine, and (iii) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and in that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.
The table below includes references to specific sections of the Mine Act. We are providing the information in the table by mine as that is how we manage and operate our business.
