June 24, 2009 · Just two days after yet another mountaintop removal protest, the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works is holding a hearing on its effect on water.
The Senate committee is considering a bill—Senate Bill 696—that would redefine fill material and prohibit mountain waste from being dumped in waterways.
