The dirty truth: It takes coal to heal coal s scars on the landscape

Editor s Note This is the second article in a two-part series on the dramatic and lasting impact of unregulated coal mining that once took place in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Restoration efforts began 40 years ago and have a long way to go. But funding to restore abandoned mine land is largely tied to fees paid by existing coal mining operations. In an odd twist, we need coal in order to clean up coal. As the nation moves away from coal-generated energy, what will fund the work that lies ahead? Part 1,Â Orange water, dirty air,Â looked at how we got here. Part 2 explores restoration strategies, success stories and what it will take to get the job done.

A Huge New Chicken CAFO in West Virginia Has Stoked Community Resistance

Related Dave Mathias’ family has worked the land around Moorefield in Hardy County, West Virginia, for generations. His home in the community of Old Fields is just a mile away from a farm where his grandfather raised cattle and his cousin later tended crops. But that cousin recently sold the land to WV Poultry Partners, LLC. Now, it’s a construction site for 15 large confinement chicken houses that will supply Pilgrim’s Pride. Combined, the structures will cover the length of 26 football fields. Less than five miles away, in the same community, WV Poultry Partners is building an even bigger facility. That one will have the capacity to hold close to a million chickens at a time in 19 houses; a quiet subdivision built to overlook what was once a picturesque rolling meadow is about 1,000 feet away.

Chamber, CVB setting sights on tourism

Chamber, CVB setting sights on tourism Mineral Daily News-Tribune Tribune Managing Editor KEYSER - The Mineral County Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau would like to see the county make use of its natural beauty and become a destination spot for hikers, bikers, kayakers and others who love spending time outdoors. They say drawing in people looking for their next fun down-river trip or a quiet hike through the woods will result in those folks shopping at local stores, eating at local restaurants, and even staying overnight in a local hotel or motel. Chamber president Randy Crane and tourism director Ashley Centofonti took their ideas for developing Mineral County’s outdoor recreational appeal to state-level representatives last month during Mineral County Days, and more recently spoke with the Mineral County Commission.
