Supreme Court opens mine dumping issue in long fight
The State Supreme Court opened proceedings on a 244 year dispute over coal companies dumping refuse into the Schuylkill River.

The matter heads to Philadelphia for a hearing set later this month. The case centers on protecting the river from mine runoff and industrial waste.
