Coal Slurry Injection Moratorium-Sound Familiar?

Last week the WV Department of Environmental Protection issued a moratorium on any new underground coal slurry injections. Their study along with several other private studies have concluded that there exists a real concern for the toxins being found in potential well waters.



You may recall that I called for a moratorium on coal slurry injections in March of this year. You can access my previous article in the archives section on the right side of this page by clicking on the week of 3/15 to 3/22.
