I know the title may not seem appropriate but what else could you call it? Progress maybe…

If all of the destruction on the upper ridges were not enough - at the base of this monstrosity sits 2.8 billion gallons of coal slurry. The pond in the next 2 photos is the one behind Marsh Fork Elementary.

The first photo shows the front end of the pond at the dam and the second photo shows the tail of the pond at the base of the mountaintop removal site. Which means the pond is not only storing coal slurry but it is also catching all of the rain and run-off from this side of the MTR site. That’s scary for obvious reasons. Reasons that God will most likely have to take the blame for.
