Davitt McAteer, who is leading up an independent investigation, requested by former Governor Joe Manchin, into the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion that killed 29 miners last April 5th, is about ready to release the findings. McAteer says some of the work left to be done is still underground, although most of the underground portion has been completed, and some work left to do is in the lab. McAteer also says they are completing the interviews of the miners and others. McAteer says the report will be finished no later than May, maybe earlier. Boone County Sheriff's Deputy, 30 year old Justin Dalton of Madison, is off the job and under investigation. Dalton has worked for the Boone County Sheriff's Department since 2008. Sheriff Rodney Miller says he can't elaborate on the allegations since it is a personnel issue, but the conduct Dalton's accused of is not acceptable of a law enforcement officer. State police are assisting with the investigation. The Sierra Club, the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy environmental groups sued coal operator ICG Eastern in federal court in Elkins Wednesday over the Knight-Ink No. 1 mine, a Webster County surface mine they say has been discharging toxic selenium into streams for years. The complaint alleges violations of both state and federal law, including the federal Clean Water Act and the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act. The complaint also claims state regulators have been lax in cracking down on ICG, allowing discharges into Big Beaver Creek, and two tributaries, Oldhe Fork and Board Fork, at levels above those designed to protect aquatic life. ICG Eastern, which produced 2.5 million tons of coal in 2009, is a subsidiary of International Coal Group Inc. of Scott Depot. Trial is set to begin March 29th for Donald Good, a man charged with kidnapping, sexual assault and aggravated robbery.
