ALJ weighs in on operator’s side in scale dispute

For the second time in less than a year, an Administrative Law Judge has held that the Mine Safety Administration (MSHA) failed to demonstrate there were hazards of having haul trucks overturn from an unbermed elevated truck scale at an aggregates operation. The June 22, 2011, decision by ALJ Andrews in Lakeview Rock Products, Inc., mirrors findings issued on July 7, 2010, by ALJ Rae in a similar case involving Knife River Corp. (Look in the August 2011 print edition of Aggregates Manager for a detailed news article on this case.) However, a key difference is that ALJ Rae’s ruling predated MSHA’s August 26, 2010 Program Policy Letter (P10-IV-01) that declared the agency’s intention to cite any truck scales that were elevated more than 16 inches above ground level under 30 CFR 56.9300, unless they were equipped with mid-axle berms or railings. The decision in Lakeview Rock Products, Inc. is the first to address this scenario in light of MSHA’s policy pronouncement.,For the second time in less than a year, an Administrative Law Judge has held that the Mine Safety Administration (MSHA) failed to demonstrate there were hazards of having haul trucks overturn from an unbermed elevated truck scale at an aggregates operation.
