Good news (for once)!
On September 11th, EPA headquarters announced recommendations on 79 mountaintop removal valley fill permits that have been under review.
The EPA recommended that none of these permits be passed through for approval as they are written. The decision is not final, but is part of a coordination procedure outlined between the EPA, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Interior.
While this stay-of-execution is exciting news, the permits could still be approved at a later date. To better demonstrate what's at stake, we used available government data to map the pending valley fill permits listed on the administration's coordination procedure. We also added videos and stories of communities that have been and will be affected by by mountaintop removal coal mining.
