Pretty big news from West Virginia. From the Charleston Gazette reporter’s Ken Ward’s blog:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency just issued its “proposed determination” to block the Clean Water Act permit for the Spruce No. 1 Mine in Logan County, the largest mountaintop removal permit in West Virginia history.

EPA has posed this proposed determination document on its Region 3 Web site, along with a Technical Support document and other materials about the Spruce Mine.
