Friends of Coal will join with FACES next Tuesday in Beckley for a press conference bringing attention to the complexities of open houses being held by the federal Office of Surface Mining (OSM) in several eastern locations.  The open houses are a newly devised and quite complicated procedure for the agency to get public input on their proposed environmental impact statement on the stream buffer zone rule.  The press conference will be held at the Beckley Convention Center (Armory) at 10:30 a.m.
