KENTUCKY...
The Division of Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) announced today the award of contract and start of construction for phase three of the Turners Creek water supply project in Breathitt County, Ky. The contract for the project totals $521,639.36.
Construction of a waterline will be performed by G & W Construction Co. Inc. of Morehead, Ky. The project is expected to be completed by fall.
A groundwater contamination study completed by the division found that AML-eligible mining had impacted much of the groundwater systems in the Turners Creek area of Breathitt County, near the community of Wolfe Coal, making the area eligible for Abandoned Mine Lands waterline assistance.
