On November 9, 2010, we received an
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 at its Occoquan
quarry in Graham, Virginia. The order was issued when a water truck
driver was observed standing on the handrails going to the truck cab
(approximately 9 feet off the ground) but was not wearing fall
protection.
