Keep Ison Rock Ridge Standing!

The Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards have been fighting the Ison Rock Ridge permit for three years. Here is our chance to stand with SAMS and the people of Appalachia to stop a mountaintop removal coal mining permit in Virginia. The Virginia Department of Mines, Mineral and Energy approved this permit over the objections of the US EPA. Now the EPA is under intense political and industry pressure to reverse its new water quality standards that make it extremely difficult for coal companies to continue the practice of blowing up mountains and bulldozing the waste in to neighboring streams.

Please send a letter to the US EPA immediately praising their action against mountaintop removal coal mining and urging them to stop to Ison Rock Ridge mine in Wise County. Please act today.
