Mountaintop Mining Topic at Wood County Commission
- Details
A resolution opposing mountaintop coal removal died last Monday (10/17) for lack of a second during the Wood County Commission meeting.
In August, the commission sponsored two separate public informational sessions on mountaintop coal removal, including opponents of the coal mining practice and a second with coal industry representatives.
Both WVCA President Bill Raney and Vice President Jason Bostic attended the County Commission meeting and pointed out the positive side of surface mining and its significance to Wood County. (See article: County takes no action on mining resolution)
