More than 100,000 gallons of coal slurry—a toxic liquid mixture of cleaning chemicals and coal refuse—contaminated about six miles of a stream in Kanawha County, West Virginia on Tuesday. Kanawha County is home to the state’s capital, Charleston, and was the epicenter for last month’s chemical spill which poisoned the water supply for 300,000 residents in nine counties. (See: Chemical spill leaves 300,000 without water in West Virginia)
According to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the slurry spill occurred at the Kanawha Eagle coal processing plant operated by Patriot Coal after a valve malfunctioned in the line carrying the toxic coal waste from the facility’s preparation plant to its impoundment. The slurry dumped into Fields Creek and then flowed into the Kanawha River

Patriot Coal is the same offender that leaked the poison last month. They are attempting to make that whole part of Appalachia a dead zone. Well, they are making it a dead zone while attempting to squeeze the final drops of profit and blood from the workers there.
