Debate Over Strip Mining Effects and Reform Moves
Gov. Rockefeller linked historic and ongoing strip mining to flooding in southern West Virginia. The W V Surface Mining and Reclamation Association disputed the claim, while National Coal Association leaders urged President Carter to reject a five year moratorium proposal. A survey by Environmental Policy Institute found weak state laws on strip mining, with Ohio having the strongest framework but lacking cease and desist authority. West Virginia and Pennsylvania face loopholes, and there is call for national legislation to standardize protections and reclamation.
