See how DMME works with mining companies to ensure the land and the environment are returned to what they were, or better, before mining began. This video was produced on an Alpha Natural Resource's former coal surface mine site that has been recognized nationally for reclamation.

I'm as pro-coal as anyone, and I want companies to be able to mine the coal that they own the mineral rights to. You may be able to show some grass and a white pine or two to the masses and they think it's returned back the way it was. But to a man who knows how God put the mountains together it's never the same. There's so many things that's not the same any longer, especially on large scale jobs. The layers of rock that holds the water table is destroyed, meaning a streams holding tank is ripped apart. That's one reason (a long with ground water being sunk by mining) that the mountain streams in S. W. Virginia, W. Virginia, and E. Kentucky are dried up during the hot months of summer. This was never the case when I was a boy in the seventies. Plus the native trees of the Appalachian mountains are never replaced. One question I would ask is, Would you drink the water? When I was a boy you could.

Who made this video? The damn banjo music is way too loud.

This is good. Try to clean up as best you can.

sir what plant did you use? and how did you make the water clean? i need help for our technical paper, thank you.

What ever DMME and FMSHA can do to make it more difficult to mine they WILL do it.

Water table destroyed and land so badly disturbed that ti's not good for much of anything.

@budrupe1877 5 лет назад

If left undisturbed after the Reclamation is complete what do you think the land will look like in 50, 75 and 100 years. I say just like the natural landscape. You can not get something with out paying a price. I say it is a pretty good investment for all the minerals removed from the land. Smart and honest as possible for our time in history. By the way how did the coal lay there for 100 million years and not damage the water table in some manner?

@TheLoonmaster 2 года назад

@@budrupe1877 great question, it only damages the water quality when the rock’s been exposed to air and water. The parts of the rock that form acids are contained beneath the ground and functionally inert until mining takes place. If you look up acid mine drainage (AMD) the internet can explain it better than me

Trash the land. Then claim to put it back. It looks nothing like it did. Cheapest way possible to "reclaim" the land and wildlife

@robertlong7033 5 лет назад

Indeed. There's no way you can bring it back to anywhere close to it's original condition. You can push the spoil back scatter an inch or two of top soil on it but it has to rain on it every other day or it will look like a desert and walking on it is like walking on asphalt. They're not fooling anybody.

@budrupe1877 5 лет назад

Where does soil come from in the first place that covered all the original geological bed rock and minerals in the ground in the first place? I personally do not think it came from bags of compost from Home Depot.

@TheLoonmaster 2 года назад

@@robertlong7033 soils are among the most complex materials in existence - great point. Not sure what the best way would be to get a full restoration when you’re messing with soils that took millions of years to get the way they are.

@brianfoster6700 6 лет назад

If you cared about the land, you wouldn't mine it in the first place. This is why all mining, especially Mountain Top Removal mining must be ended.

@budrupe1877 5 лет назад

If there is no mining where will the minerals for your cell phone going to come from?

@fae ragan Then get the fuck off of the internet you hypocritical piece of shit. Whatever device you used to write that comment is using minerals that came straight out of one of these "rape" scenes, be it in Appalachia or China.
