Throughout West Virginia, coal companies are practicing "mountaintop removal" mining. This practice literally removes the tops of mountains and places the waste in nearby river drainages. Coal River Mountain Watch is using Conservation Alliance funding to build public support for stronger regulation of these destructive mining practices.
