Director says coal slurry impoundment rumors are not true
Mary Catherine Brooks
Wyoming County Bureau chief
Rumors that a coal slurry impoundment near Pineville is near collapse due to
nearby underground mining are not true, according to officials.
“There is no imminent danger,” emphasized Dean Meadows, Wyoming County Emergency
Services director. “The water level in that impoundment is such that it poses no
danger to surrounding areas.”
The rumors have upset a lot of people and Meadows said his office has received
several calls.
The Emergency Services office is monitoring the impoundment, he said.
