It did not indicate the nature of the condition at that time or in this week’s filing, and a Consol spokeswoman did not return comment to ILN.

However, the producer did confirm that the order was abated October 30, and that no injuries resulted from the condition.

Rend Lake, located in in Jefferson County, is has been listed by MSHA as a non-producing facility since June 2002.
