Last spring, the EPA issued strict guidelines on permits for mountaintop removal (MTR) coal mining. These guidelines for “valley fill” permits severely limit the dumping of coal mining debris into valleys and streams. These guidelines have the potential to save the rest of Appalachia‘s mountains from being destroyed and Appalachia’s drinking water from being poisoned. The EPA is now seeking feedback on their new approach to MTR permitting. Public comments are due December 1st. Take action today. Tell the EPA to strengthen their guidance on mountaintop removal mining permits. We know the coal industry is gearing up for a massive outpouring of comments, so we must provide leaders at the EPA the support they need to end mountaintop removal. Ask the EPA to stand up to King Coal and end all valley fills. Thank you for taking action to protect our beautiful streams and mountains.
