Strip mine law turns ideal into reality in West Virginia
The state restores strip mine lands through the 1967 Surface Mining Act and Special Reclamation Fund. Bonds of 300 dollars per acre plus 30 dollars for reclamation support reclaiming old sites, with thousands of acres already restored and millions of trees planted. Agencies coordinate with operators to plan vegetation and prevent environmental damage.
