OSM Report on Compliance with AOC in West Virginia Released
- Details
On Thursday, a report was published by the federal Office of Surface Mining (OSM) regarding compliance with West Virginia’s Approximate Original Contour (AOC) policy. This oversight initiative was started in 2008 and has been the source of continued debate between OSM and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WV DEP). As a result of these disagreements, the report was delayed by several months and was just released via web posting by OSM on Thursday. It is available at http://www.arcc.osmre.gov/FOs/CHFO/Documents/WV%202008-09%20AOC%20Final%20Report.pdf
