"Conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to force Drummond Company to clean up its Maxine Mine, an underground coal mine that has not produced coal in decades, but which the Riverkeeper group says is still leaching mine waste and other pollutants into the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River.
The Maxine Mine is located on the Locust Fork near Praco, Ala.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama by the groups Black Warrior Riverkeeper, the Southern Environmental Law Center and Public Justice."
