Groups Notify Mining Company of Plans to Sue


A coalition of environmental groups says it plans to file a lawsuit over pollution at the Hobet 21 coal mining complex in Boone County.


The organizations told Patriot Coal subsidiary Hobert Mining in a letter Wednesday that they will sue if problems are not corrected within 60 days. Federal law requires a 60-day notice of intent to sue for Clean Water Act violations.
