Consol Energy, located at Naugatuck, had a coal slurry break last week. Crews are currently working to clean up the damage caused by the break by dredging the creek located by the roadway to the mines. Mingo County OES Director Jarred Fletcher said the spill was small, as it leaked for a short amount of time. Fletcher explained that a slurry line that traveled back to the impoundment broke apart. Fletcher said Consol is going through the proper arrangements with his office and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection. Crews were dredging the creek beside the roadway to the mines yesterday.
