Executive Ban Appealed At Cooper's Rock Strip Mine Hearing Today
A hearing opened today before the Reclamation Board of Review on a contested strip mining project by H. L. Kennedy of Pittsburgh. Governor Moore had banned the permit citing potential harm to land aesthetics. The case involves land near Cooper's Rock State Forest in Preston County and the WVU Experimental Forest. The governor appointed Paul Nay and Richard K. Neal to expand the board to five for the hearing in Kingwood. Kennedy seeks to overturn the permit later canceled by Moore amid protests in Laurel Run. The WV Surface Mine and Reclamation Association reviewed the proposal and found no reason to deny mining, while opponents call protests emotional.
