WHEELING, W.Va. – A Murray Energy subsidiary said it temporarily idled an underground coal mine in Ohio County because of high water levels on the Ohio River.

WTFR-TV reported Ohio County Coal Co., LLC announced the move Tuesday.

The company said the high water levels interrupted barge transportation.

The mine’s temporary shutdown will affect 383 hourly employees.

No other information was released.
