By wmmt - Posted on October 26th, 2007
October 25, 2007 - Public hearings were held Wednesday night in five communities throughout the coalfields of Appalachia, to allow public comment on a proposed change in the “stream buffer zone” rule by the US Office of Surface Mining, or OSM. At the hearing in Hazard, KY about 140 people turned out on a rainy autumn night, and the majority of those who signed up to speak, were opposed to the change.
