New Mountaintop Removal Application For Coal River Mountain


May 5, 2015

New mountaintop removal application on Coal River Mountain, 847 acres that we expect to be followed by another 1,200 acres or so. We'll post more details soon.  Mountaintop removal kills people. Please help us build resistance to this next assault. Standing up to Alpha, the world's third largest metallurgical coal supplier, takes time and money. Please share and help out with a donation of $10 or more. Also, please email the WVDEP permit supervisor, Thomas.E.Wood@wv.gov, to tell him that you oppose the many hazards that would come with permit S300115, or send a letter to the address below. Thanks!
