Awesome news ! Perry county Ohio Still has sites that could benefit from remining . I will say Moxahala creek has come a long way since Peabody coal co. days. But still needs more done about side stream run off from old works. A step in the right direction
About time they start cleaning some of these site up. I used to hunt B&N land. Ales Run used to be ok, but they closed down the B&N lands a while back and not sure if they opened it back up yet or not. Been a while since I lived down that way.
The land I grew up on and still hunt today in stark County Ohio was all stripped back in the 50s and 60s and they just left it. All pits, mounds, gulleys, drop offs and cliffs and thick woods now after all these years. Ruined the land. Still good deer hunting nowadays and fun woods growing up. Garrow kept all the mineral rights too before selling the land which was also wrong.
Actually, one of the primary goals and results of remining is that the water and soil quality is usually left in a better state than it previously was.
Well damn if you do ? an damn if you don't can't make absoulutly no one happy ? What ever you do all ways some smart ass calling you out ? Even its in the right direction ? So keep up what your doing ? Our coal miners had to make a living ? as well as our moon shiners ? So stay safe .
It's so wonderful that the water will be poisoned with sulfur and other contaminated for the next 3 million years and no water well will be possible in all these areas. So nice, isn't it ? It's like telling a murder or gang rape victim, " See! Now that wasn't so bad, was it ?" The land is destroyed by the process, period.
