Pike County Residents File Suit
KENTUCKY....
A group of 126 eastern Kentucky residents have sued Cambrian Coal Corporation and AEP Kentucky Coal Inc., saying improper surface mining and reclamation caused or worsened flooding that destroyed dozens of homes in Pike County last month.
The lawsuit accuses Cambrian and AEP of violations that played a substantial role in "massive amounts of water" running off the mine sites, turning Harless Creek into a "raging river" that washed away homes and vehicles.
