Remining in Ohio

[@Wheel-1]

Awesome news ! Perry county Ohio Still has sites that could benefit from remining . I will say Moxahala creek has come a long way since Peabody coal co. days. But still needs more done about side stream run off from old works. A step in the right direction

Smart Solutions over punitive penalties, Can only be achieved at State levels, our National gubberment is too corrupt. This is so positive to see !

It's good you guys are taking action to protect our Ohio waterways but the Sunday Creek is in bad shape

[@karlaconroy2099]

Yes it is in bad shape,it's sad.

[@lespoole8527]

Well damn if you do ? an damn if you don't can't make absoulutly no one happy ? What ever you do all ways some smart ass calling you out ? Even its in the right direction ? So keep up what your doing ? Our coal miners had to make a living ? as well as our moon shiners ? So stay safe .

[@timothycostello7326]

So what your telling me is it cost to much to reclaim our old mine sites. I know let's send more money to other countries. Give me a break.

The companies that did it in the first place should be responsible, not the taxpayer.

The land I grew up on and still hunt today in stark County Ohio was all stripped back in the 50s and 60s and they just left it. All pits, mounds, gulleys, drop offs and cliffs and thick woods now after all these years. Ruined the land. Still good deer hunting nowadays and fun woods growing up. Garrow kept all the mineral rights too before selling the land which was also wrong.

Now we can plug our electric cars into the coal plant. Makes good sense.

[@earlwright9715]

Walker and Jefferson counties in Alabama, are covered up with old underground and strip mines, they have been doing some of this here.

Looks good but I bet the water and soil is toxic from mining.

[@TheOhioDNR]

Actually, one of the primary goals and results of remining is that the water and soil quality is usually left in a better state than it previously was.

About time they start cleaning some of these site up. I used to hunt B&N land. Ales Run used to be ok, but they closed down the B&N lands a while back and not sure if they opened it back up yet or not. Been a while since I lived down that way.

Kudos to DNR Videographer Josiah Wade for doing this excellent video, including the voiceover

[@danmoritz3319]

It's so wonderful that the water will be poisoned with sulfur and other contaminated for the next 3 million years and no water well will be possible in all these areas. So nice, isn't it ? It's like telling a murder or gang rape victim, " See! Now that wasn't so bad, was it ?" The land is destroyed by the process, period.
