Coalition for Mountaintop Mining Hosts Meeting on HR 2018

The Coalition for Mountaintop Mining hosted a meeting August 12 at the Earl Ray Tomblin Lodge in Logan. Coalition Chair Chris Hamilton said the meeting was well attended – drawing some 30 representatives from around the region to discuss the current issues facing the coal industry, including HR 2018, the Rahall-sponsored bill that would reel in the EPA and restore balance to the relationship between state and federal regulatory agencies.
