Pike County Mine Temporarily Closed
KENTUCKY....
Administrative law judge Steve Blanton of the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet has granted a temporary injunction stopping work at Cambrian Coal's No. 8 Mine near Elkhorn City in Pike County. In April, the Kentucky Division of Mine Permits granted Cambrian subsidiary Apex Energy permission to mine a 792-acre area surrounding an already-mined area. The Sierra Club and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth say the permit should have never been granted.
