Virginian’s are fighting to save their communities from the devastation caused by mountaintop removal coal mining. Help those that live at the base of Ison Rock Ridge by sending a message to the Environmental Protection Agency, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, President Obama and your elected officials asking that the permit be denied.

If the EPA grants the permit these families will have to deal with constant dust coating their counter-tops and lungs, and machine noise interrupted by the occasional foundation-shaking explosion. For several years they would have to watch their mountaintop flattened and their headwater streams buried with toxic mining waste – then the coal company would leave, and the communities would be left with the mess, the health bills, and a community diminished by almost every measure.

The permit must be denied.
