BEP review doubles coal debt in state Workers Comp fund
HARLESTON AP Twenty coal companies using subcontractors owe the state Workers Compensation Fund more than 406 million, double the prior estimate. The increase largely comes from debts not listed before and ongoing interest. Island Creek Coal leads with 128.3 million, followed by A.T. Massey 71.0, Pittston 53.2, Peabody/Eastern Associated 39.2, and National Mines 35.3 million. Beginning in 1996, BEP filed lawsuits against contractors and some majors to recover unpaid premiums.
