Item 1.04 Mine Safety - Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations.
On February 4, 2014, Bridger Coal Company ("BCC"), a coal mining joint venture, received an imminent danger order from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") under Section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 at its underground mine located near Rock Springs, Wyoming. On February 5, 2014, Bridger Coal Company completed actions to abate the concerns, and MSHA terminated the Section 107(a) order.
Idaho Power Company is the parent company of Idaho Energy Resources Co. ("IERCo"), which owns a one-third interest in BCC. Day-to-day operation and management of coal mining and processing operations at the Bridger Coal Mine are conducted through IERCo's joint venture partner and not by IERCo.
