Court rejects appeal to block silo near elementary school
The West Virginia Supreme Court unanimously upheld a state Surface Mine Board permit for a coal storage silo about 260 feet from Marsh Fork Elementary. Coal River Mountain Watch had argued the permit relied on an inaccurate map placing the silo outside the mine boundary. the court ruled the permit area is defined by the map, and markers at the site place it inside. The case reflects ongoing disputes among environmental groups, surface mining fees, and Massey Energy’s Goals Coal Co. subsidiary which already operates a silo nearby to reduce dust.
