Conference on Bluestone River Pollution Report
The Joint Committee on Natural Resources met at Bluestone State Park to hear Bern Wright of the State Water Resources Commission on coal mine pollution. They study conservation in West Virginia and will report to the governor and legislature in 1961 on forming a Department of Natural Resources. Wright said swimming at Bluestone will not reopen this summer due to coal dust and a failed pump at Pocahontas Fuel Co. McComas. The pump breakdown reduces treatment efficiency, and even with a new pump, 1 6 months may pass before river clarity returns. The beach opened recently with a bathhouse and parking, but coal dust reduced use and cabins saw fewer bookings. Wright noted silt and acid water from mining, tanning, and slaughterhouses elsewhere in the state. He cited a 7,000-signature petition from Guyan River Basin residents demanding pollution cleanup. His staff numbers ten, needing three or four more. The committee will hear Walter G. Gumbel of Monongahela Power Co. and conclude with an executive session. Members include Senators Hans McCourt, Howard W. Carson, Harry E. Moats, A. L. Reed. and Representatives Dan Wells, Roy Lee Harmon, Marshall G. West, Lautellus M. Stout, J. F. Deem.
