https://ilovemountains.org/news/705 END MOUNTAINTOP REMOVAL COAL MINING IN APPALACHIA! Mon, 05 Apr 2010 13:36:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.18 https://ilovemountains.org/news/705#comment-73077 Mon, 05 Apr 2010 13:36:45 +0000 http://ilovemountains.org/news/705#comment-73077 This is obviously wonderful news and a huge step in the right direction. I’m a little confused, however. The proposed EPA limit is conductivity of 300 micro-siemens. This is only measurable AFTER the fact… AFTER the mountain is destroyed. Is there a way of predicting what the conductivity will be after blowing up the mountain? Or, will coal companies blow up mountains, be sited for violations which, as in the past, they have ignored?
