Strip mine ruling slashes federal coal regulations
U S District Judge James Noland in Indianapolis sided with Indiana and coal companies against the Interior Department and its Office of Surface Mining, striking down large parts of the 1977 Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act as unconstitutional or overbroad. The decision questions the law’s treatment of prime farm land and reclamation requirements, while signaling an appeal by the government. The ruling could affect Indiana and Illinois, major coal states, and may reach the Supreme Court if reviewed.
