Surface mining

Dear editor of the Courier Mail, The idea of mining in the scenic rim is horrific. Right now at this stage we need to save the environment! Not destroy it! You’re also destroying people’s homes, lands. This is how people come homeless and helpless. You also need to think about all the living things like animals and plants. If you want this world to continue on living you need to support it, to protect it. Mining takes heaps of land so that’s meaning heaps of people’s homes and lands (mostly the farmers). The farmers need their precious land to grow their crop. To make money, to survive in life. The land is their everything; if they lost their land they would lose their life’s work. Everything that they’ve put into life is into their land. You can’t take that away from them. That’s just cruelty. Just imagine that you’re in their shoes with your work. You put 100% effort into your work don’t you? You work hard to get paid. To support your wife, children or just yourself. Imagine that all destroyed because of mining. Finding jobs these days isn’t so easy anymore. You need to think about others and how they will get affected.…

lit shaft, the silence is almost deafening, yet the silence speaks of hard labor, sweat, dirt, and fear.

In 1968, residents in the towns below wrote letters to the Governor complaining and voicing their concerns about the dam’s conditions and the mining company’s failure to make any changes. The governor did send some inspectors to the sight, but no changes were made. In February of 1971, after inspectors asked to make some more changes…

Every state in the US has a unique set of statutes governing real estate transactions. It is imperative for real estate professionals to be informed about special risks associated with individual regions of the country. For example, more than two-thirds of Pennsylvania's 67 counties have rich coal deposits underground. And, two centuries of mining activity to bring that precious resource to the surface has resulted in large tunnels and voids that may collapse, causing the surface to subside.…
