Marsh Fork Elementary “Conference”

» by Brian W

Not sure if this is true, but I found this info at Sludge Safety Project:

April 14, 2008: 6:00 p.m. The DEP has granted an informal conference to hear objections to the Massey Energy’s (Alex Energy) Edwight permit 130 acre expansion (Amendment 1 to S301299, already 1,849 acres). It’s at 6:00 P.M. at Marsh Fork Elementary on Monday, April 14. This is the permit above Marsh Fork Elementary, Clay’s Branch, Naoma, Pettry Bottom, Sundial, and Edwight. For more information, contact vernoncrmw@gmail.com.

Maybe Denny or someone who is closer to the school than I can verify that this is indeed happening on Monday Evening. If it is and you can make it, please do. Even tho the term “informal” tells me that nothing that is said there will be listened to and its just a bother for DEP officials.

    This is happening as far as I know - but fair warning, there will be an equal number of the friends of coal at this hearing and they will not be there for neighborly support. They will be there representing King Coal.
