Yea but this time looks like the coal companies did it.

Yeah....I don’t know if a coal company had something to do with the leak - or it was just a leak from their tanks that sit along side the Elk River...I used to patrol that area when I was trooper...there’s worst that sits along the Kanawha River in Institute!

They say there was a leak in a tank and the tank's contamination failed, so the chemical seeped into the soil.

That should read containment

The chemical is used in “froth floatation” coal wash plants.
