Original: Western Colorado coal mine violates methane caps nearly 4 times over, state says
State regulators say a coal mine in western Colorado emitted methane at levels nearly four times above its permitted cap. The finding raises questions about enforcement of Colorado's climate rules and the mine's compliance record.
