Buchanan Coal Mines Accused Of Violations
The Virginia State Water Control Board authorized the attorney general to seek injunctive relief and civil penalties against two Buchanan County coal mines for violating NPDES permits. A third company may face action if it does not comply with an order to clean up erosion at the Oakwood preparation plant. The board cited five stockpiles eroding at Island Creek Coal Company’s Pocahontas mines No 3 and No 5, causing gross water pollution. The board set compliance deadlines for pond and treatment facility upgrades and warned of further action if the Beatrice-Pocahontas mine fails to obey.
