New rules have been issued governing the disposal of overburden at mining sites, but despite the hue and cry heard somepaces, the rules are not significantly different from those that were previously in effect. The State Journal does a good job of laying out the facts involved. The change is opposed by groups such as the Coal River Mountain Watch and the Highlands Conservancy.
The rule is actually EPA approval of a Departmentof Interior Office of Surface Mining rule.
