Staunton O Neal mine reclamation tour stymied by rain
Lt Gov Dave O Neal headed a planned Staunton Illinois deep mine reclamation site inspection in Macoupin County. Rain canceled the helicopter tour, with aides saying observers would gain little from the muddy trip. The project aims to reclaim 34 acres damaged by erosion for potential industrial use and a future recreation site. The cost ranges from 500 000 to 830 000 dollars. Householders from Wilsonville protested the project amid a local legal battle with Earthline Corp over a hazardous waste landfill in their village.
