Marshall University economist Dr. Michael J. Hicks along with colleagues Dr. Mark Burton and Dr. Calvin A. Kent warned that Judge Charles Haden II's interpretation of the Clean Water Act would sharply hit southern West Virginia nine counties. A phase-in plan would cause about 14 percent annual production declines for seven years, while a restrictive model risks over 10,000 private sector jobs lost in year one, with underground mines also affected and regional uncertainty already felt in Logan County.
