That Sinking Feeling
In coal country, longwall mining is causing the ground to cave in as much as five feet—leaving fish, wildlife, and people as waste products.
Audubon Mar./Apr. 2005
The litigation had been initiated when Consol sued the Brendels in federal court—in a vain effort to get their house taken off the National Register of Historic Places.
Ted Williams last reported on the coal industry in "Sludge Slinging," in the May 2004 issue of Audubon.
