LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -
A published report says Kentucky coal operators owe more in delinquent fines to federal authorities for mine safety violations than any other state.
The Courier-Journal reports the finding from an analysis it did of records from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Records show that Kentucky mine operators owe MSHA $29.2 million, which is 40 percent of the $73.6 million total owed to the agency in mine safety fines. Mine operators in West Virginia ranked second, owing MSHA $14.7 million in delinquent fines.
The analysis showed many of the fines are years old, some stemming from safety violations in 1993.
MSHA chief Joseph Main says the agency has "a very high collection rate," and it is taking a "hard look" at operators who haven't paid penalties.
