They got that land from the people who live there. Dont point fingers at the mining industry, point them at your neighbor and ask him for your cut. I work on a strip very near White Flame, and i can tell you we are VERY careful what we put in the fills. We are very careful not to allow rocks to go over the hill in the wrong places, and when we're done we reclaim areas not with loose rock as your site suggests, we use dirt. In fact when we come across a large amount of dirt we stockpile it for use in reclamation. And most of all we are you. We work to support our families. We work to keep our homes, and you idiots want us out of a job. Most of your neighbors work either at one of our jobs or a job nearby. Without surface mining ragland west virginia would have dried up and died years ago. You might want to think real hard about that before you start putting families out of work and making them lose their homes. You sold the land, I didnt hear you complaining then. Have a great day. Thanks for making people afraid they will lose their jobs everyday because of idiots like you with an internet connection. Better yet, offer me a job that pays 22 dollars an hour and I'll gladly park my equipment for you. Give me a sustainable job that pays that much and we'll be glad not to go to that place. Bet I wont ever hear from ya on that one. If you didnt want us there, you shouldnt have been so damned greedy when they offered you the money for the land.
