• Wildlife Agency Predicted Low Risk From Oil Spills

NEW ORLEANS - Less than three years before the Gulf oil spill erupted, federal regulators concluded several offshore drilling projects posed a low risk to endangered wildlife - a determination that contrasts sharply with recent scenes of birds struggling to survive the slick. A September 2007 memo from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said large oil spills from the proposed Gulf drilling projects under review were "low-probability events" that weren't likely to affect brown pelicans, sea turtles and other animals with Gulf Coast habitats.

• Coal Mining and Valley Fill Construction

Coal extraction in West Virginia is accomplished generally by underground or surface mining. BOTH methods of coal extraction require the placement of fill structures, commonly referred to as valley fills in acknowledgment of the steeply sloped terrain that exists in West Virginia within small, usually ephemeral and intermittent gullies and erosional features. Underground mining techniques, which account for the majority of West Virginias coal production, utilize machinery to drive tunnels under the surface of the land. These tunnels are situated in coal seams so as the machinery advances further underground, coal is removed. The tunnels are supported by drilling long bolts into the mine roof to consolidate the overlying material. Using a combined system of vehicle haulage and conveyor b...
