Mr. Johnson:
With all due respect, it's time to stop the
threats by Ohio Valley Coal
not only to Dysart Woods, but to the environment as a whole.
Why is this company allowed to destroy entire
valleys and waterways in
the interest of private profit, while ripping from the earth
a fuel that does
still more destruction to our air, water, and public health.
Enough is enough. There is no reason
whatsoever to grant any of these
permits. There is no reason not to extract the highest
possibly penalties
for OVC's gratuitous assault on our most treasured natural resources.
Thank you.
