Important MTR Hearings Coming Up
June 5 in Frankfort, KY
June 7 in Pikeville, KY
At the request of the state of Kentucky, the E.P.A. will be conducting three hearings in June on their objections to 36 coal-mining water quality permits. The hearings are to resolve the status of these 36 permits and how to enforce water quality regulations at new or expanded surface mines.
We need your help - learn more about the hearings and how to help on our Chapter Conservation blog here.
