Exhibit 95
MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
We operate surface mines in the western United States to produce construction aggregates. The operation of our mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). MSHA conducted 17 inspections at 12 of our mines during the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no reportable citations or orders following 15 of those inspections. MSHA conducted 21 inspections at 16 of our mines during the three months ended March 31, 2014. There were no reportable citations or orders following 20 of those inspections. The chart below presents the total number of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard under Section 104 of the Mine Act for which the operator received a citation from the MSHA during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. With respect to this information, it should be noted that: (i) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of the mine, (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 or dismissed.
