Wheelwright Mountain Slide Declared Emergency
KENTUCKY...
Federal mining officials in Pittsburgh have declared a slide near 12 evacuated homes on Maple and Branham Streets in Wheelwright an emergency... providing emergency funding from The Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation. The Office of Surface Mining says an abandoned mine behind the homes is the cause, and engineers are already working on plans to fix the problem and stabilize the ground. As of now, the families will not receive any compensation.
