Mining firms plan early for permits under federal law
Evan M. Davis reports from St. Louis on a study for the American Mining Congress by Consolidation Coal Co. urging coal companies to begin environmental and regulatory planning years ahead. Experts warn of regional enforcement differences, call for experienced lawyers, meticulous reclamation records, and extended studies before contract signing due to the tougher surface mining law.

Coal Industry Faces Permitting Delays and Price Risk
Kirtz warns that long permitting lead times force companies to disclose plans early. Management must choose between buying property before approvals and risking costs or waiting for approval and paying higher prices. Jones expects some cuts in burdensome costs under Reagan, but not a return to the past.

Union not liable for 1979 Burning Star No. 2 wildcat
A federal jury in East St. Louis cleared UMW Local 9721 of responsibility for a four day wildcat strike at Consol’s Burning Star No 2 mine near Pinckneyville in May 1979. Consol sought 15200 in damages. Jim Thomas said the jury found leadership did not direct the stoppage and the company hadn’t made an earnest effort to resolve disputes.

Perry County gasification plant faces funding setback in House panel
The House Science and Technology Committee voted to authorize no funds for the Perry County coal gasification project in fiscal 1982, aligning with Reagan budget requests. It backed a Simon plan to defer the $44 million 1981 grant into 1982 while urging continued support within the budget limits, as the larger $1 billion project seeks private and public funds.
