Floyd County Mine Halts Operation
The Office of Mining and Reclamation immediately issued an imminent danger cessation order for Frasure Creek Mining Friday when a boulder tumbled downhill into the home of Billy Tussy on Caney Fork Road in Martin (Floyd County). The company is working with the state to secure the site after blasting caused severe damage to the home and placed nearby homes in danger, causing those families to be evacuated.
