Environmental groups have asked a federal court to hold one of Gov. Jim Justice’s coal companies in contempt.
The Sierra Club, Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards and Appalachian Voices say A&G Coal Company has violated an agreement to reclaim three coal mines in southwest Virginia.
Further, the groups say Roanoke-based A&G has mined coal at two of the sites, in violation of a January 2023 consent decree in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia.
The reclamation deadlines have already passed for two of the sites and another looms for the third, totaling 3,300 acres in Wise County, Virginia near the Kentucky border.
A Virginia study earlier this year found A&G’s total reclamation liabilities at all of its mines total $190 million, far exceeding the $13 million available in the state’s bond pool.
Justice-owned coal companies face liabilities in numerous other jurisdictions.
