EPA acting regional administrator Dr. Albin R. Morris delivered the plea to aide Don Richardson as Governor Rockefeller’s office awaited a response amid questions from APCC chief Carl Beard. The action centers on John Amos in Putnam County and five Monongahela plants Willow Island Rivesville Harrison Fort Martin and Albright.

Energy policy missing coal costs and salvation claims
An expert from Penn State says the lack of national energy policy leaves Americans unaware of coal reserves and the true costs of switching to coal. Dr. Robert Stefanko notes extraction limits and high prices, urging a national coal program with miner training, better railroads, and cleaner mining tech. Separately, Claude Vealey seeks a June 30 parole hearing for his Yablonski murder conviction, facing witness losses and potential conflicts with ongoing UMW and Boyle cases.
