Stalemate Ends Five Year Coal Debate in Monongahela Forest
In Elkins West Virginia the Mower Lumber Co and Forest Service reach a five year pause on coal mining in 41000 acres of the Monongahela National Forest. A mineral evaluation study and land use plan will be completed during the pause, while the company gains a five year extension of mineral rights. Conservationists warn of wildlife harm and acid drainage affecting trout streams and the Bowden hatchery, a four million dollar facility. Brazil dominates about two thirds of global coffee output.
