CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - Federal regulators have cited the West Virginia coal mines where 14 miners died last month with a total of seven alleged safety violations in recent weeks, records show.
The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration cited the Sago Mine in Upshur County for three violations on Jan. 19 and Feb. 6.
Two allege that mine owner International Coal Group Inc. failed to comply with requirements for testing and maintaining electrical equipment and did not notify MSHA within 30 days of a change in the legal entity operating the mine. Details of the third citation were unavailable Thursday on MSHA's Web site.
