Judge allows Cheat Mountain road project near black bear habitat
Federal Judge Robert Maxwell refused to block the U S Forest Service from building a 4.3 mile forest road atop Cheat Mountain. Four Randolph and Pocahontas County residents sought an injunction until an environmental impact statement was prepared. The court noted the bear population is thriving and the project would improve public access to the area.
