Repairing the Damage: The costs of delaying reclamation at modern-era mines
In this report, “Repairing the Damage: The costs of delaying reclamation at modern-era mines,” we examine the total outstanding amount of reclamation still needed at mountaintop removal and other coal mines from seven Eastern states, as well as the staggering estimated costs of that cleanup.
Central Appalachia may be facing a new wave of abandoned mines as more companies declare bankruptcy and desert their cleanup responsibilities. Despite a federal law, some states have not set aside enough money to guarantee mine reclamation in the face of widespread bankruptcy. The report has determined that over 633,000 acres of coal mines across seven eastern states require cleanup, with an estimated price tag of $7.5 to $9.8 billion.
This report, produced by Appalachian Voices, is the third paper in the Repairing the Damage series.
