CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — The Southern Environmental Law Center is out with the second edition of its most-endangered areas in the South, and the Chesapeake Bay is among the top 10.
Others on the list released Monday include the southern Appalachian Mountains because of mountaintop removal coal mining; right whale calving waters off of Georgia where the Navy plans an undersea training range; and the Roanoke River Basin because of the prospect of uranium mining.
The Charlottesville environmental organization said some of the nation's greatest environmental threats are located in the Southeast. It said the top 10 list is intended as a "wake-up call" for residents and lawmakers.
