EPA Seeks to Block West Virginia's Largest Mountaintop Removal Project.By Ken Ward, Jr., Charleston Gazette, September 8, 2009. "The EPA issued a letter that blasts a whole host of problems with an Arch Coal project, initially approved by the Army Corps of Engineers, that is the largest strip-mining permit ever issued in West Virginia. EPA experts have concluded that the mine, as currently designed and permitted, would violate the federal Clean Water Act. In response, Corps lawyers have asked U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers for a 30-day stay in legal proceedings over this permit, to give Corps staffers time to re-examine the project."
