A federal appeals court in the sixth circuit ruled Ohio lacked authority to lease land allowing Buckingham Coal Co to mine beneath Burr Oak State Park. The 2010 deal paid the state for coal while transferring nearby rights, tying into a corridor between Buckingham reserves on opposite park sides. The Corps of Engineers had sued in federal court.
