Administrative Law Judge Reduces ICG Fines


WEST VIRGINIA....
Administrative Law Judge Jerold Feldman at the Federal Mine Safety and Health Commission has reduced some of the fines levied against International Coal Group Inc. for the 2006 Sago Mine explosion that killed 12 men. Feldman slashed fines for 13 violations from just under $134,000 to $71,800, vacated four violations MSHA had cited, removed the "unwarrantable failure" designation from five others and reduced MSHA fines for delays in reporting the blast and summoning mine-rescue teams by $3,500, declaring the decisions made by ICG's Wolf Run Mining Co. "understandable, if not admirable."
