ANOTHER COAL SLURRY POISONING VA WATER! Over 100,000 gallons of coal sluffy leaked into a tributary of the Kanawaha River.
The spill at Patriot Coal was caused when a valve inside a slurry line malfunctioned, the state environmental protection officials said. Containment efforts by Patriot Coal began immediately, and cleanup activities are underway, said Janine Orf, a vice president at Patriot Coal. State EPA spokesman Tom Aluise said the water in the county was safe to drink, though West Virginia American Water has a “do not use” alert in place for pregnant women in the Kanawha Valley after an unrelated January 9 spill.
