EPA Stops Operations At Boone County Plant
WEST VIRGINIA....
Cleanup continues in Boone County, following a coal slurry spill Tuesday night at Kanawha Eagle's Emerald Processing Plant near Comfort. The Department of Environmental Protection issued an imminent harm cessation order which makes the company stop operations and clean up the spill. The DEP has to give the go-ahead for the company to continue operations. The company is using pump trucks to remove the slurry that spread over a mile and a half in a stream along Joe's Creek Road.
