16 miles of PA headwater streams in danger from coal waste
16 miles of headwater streams - a crucial breeding habitat for bats -- will be filled in with coal waste
Stop longwall coal mining from destroying Pennsylvania streams!
The largest underground longwall coal mine in southwestern Pennsylvania is running out of space to dump coal waste from processing coal. And now the mine owners want the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to approve a permit for two additional Coal Refuse Disposal Areas, also known as valley fills.
Protect Pennsylvania's streams from coal mining!
