Lost Acres Owner Fears Stream Loss From Strip Mining
Willis Kiger, owner of eight acres known as Lost Acres near Gladesville Road, warns the mountain stream Laurel Run on his property could be polluted if PLW Coal Inc extends strip mining. PLW seeks 40 acres off Gladesville Road in Clinton District, with two ponds already created to manage runoff. Opposing the permit, Kiger notes erosion during rain and potential harm to the stream, while PLW contends pollution is mitigated and that water runoff would be controlled.
