Another Xpost from GD: EPA vetoes largest mountaintop removal in WV history


"Word is just coming down that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has vetoed the largest single mountaintop removal permit in West Virginia history.

The move is part of an Obama administration crackdown aimed at reducing the effects of mountaintop removal coal-mining on the environment and on coalfield communities in Appalachian — impacts that scientists are increasingly finding to be pervasive and irreversible.

The final EPA decision document is available here. EPA has also now posted some appendices to that document, including a response to comments."

In EPA vs. House of Representatives, the EPA has come out swinging.
