Revealed Memo from WVDEP States the Devastation Caused by Mountaintop Removal

Aug 21st, 2009 by admin

Ken Ward has publicized a fascinating memo that uses solid science to outline on a few of the devastating effects mountaintop removal has on our nation’s water as well as the ways that this practice goes against existing WV laws.  It is a valuable document for this reason alone.

However, the memo also serves to correct WV DEP Secretary Huffman for inaccurate testimony in the Senate last June — please follow the link below to read the memo.
