Item 1.04 Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
On February 26, 2013, Peabody Western Coal Company, a subsidiary of Peabody
Energy Corporation, was issued an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of
the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. The mine involved was the
Kayenta Mine located in Arizona. On that date, an inspector from the Mine Safety
and Health Administration alleged that an unsafe condition existed on the spoil
(southeast) side of the N-9 pit that was not corrected prior to employees
accessing the pit to load drilled blast holes. The employees were withdrawn from
the base of the spoil wall and management has implemented an abatement plan.
