West Virginia mining group releases Gilbert flood report
The West Virginia Surface Mining and Reclamation Association published the Gilbert Flood Investigation Report noting six days of field work. It cites steep slopes and land disturbance from timbering coal mining and development as contributing factors but not sole cause. The report estimates a 100 year rainfall event with 8 to 10 inches in 12 hours and finds only four of 18 major landslides linked to surface mining.
