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.
On
August 23, 2010, Sunrise Coal Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Hallador Energy Company, received an imminent danger order, under section 107(a)
of the Mine Act, stating that the operator of one of our remote controlled
continuous miners (CM) was found standing between the CM and a coal rib (wall).
The operator was immediately removed from the pinch point without incident and
retrained on proper positioning which terminated the order.
