Kentucky Heartwood

We need forests we can get lost in; trees that make us gape; streams we can drink from. 
​Wild places sustain and define us; ​we, in turn, must protect them.

Frasure Creek Mining pulls permit application to mine near Robinson Forest!

6/24/2010

 

As some of you may remember, last year Kentucky Heartwood asked our supporters to send in comments opposing the expansion of strip mining operations bordering the south end of Robinson Forest. The mining would have eaten up some of the last intact forest surrounding Robinson. 


Well, we just got news yesterday that Frasure Creek, the company that had sought the permits to mine there, has withdrawn their 404 application for "economic reasons." If they want to seek a permit again they'll have to start at the beginning of the process, incur more costs, and face more opposition.


A big thanks to all of you who took the time to send in letters opposing this mine! With national pressure for investors to pull their support from MTR, legislative traction in D.C., and federal agencies beginning to show interest in actually regulating and enforcing the law, coal companies are on the defensive. Let's all keep up the good work!

If you tree huggers don't like coal you should turn off your lights! Feeding my family is more important than a bunch of useless tree's and cliff's!
