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 15, 2010, Canyon Fuel Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Arch Coal, Inc., received an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Mine Act stating that an operator of a diesel manlift at our Sufco mine operated the manlift without wearing a safety belt/harness with tie off lines. The manlift was immediately stopped and the operator was lowered to the ground without an incident where they put on a safety belt/harness and tied off to the compartment. These actions terminated the order.
