The man who owned the land before the mine went in cleard the land where the pits are now and started raising cows.The EPA found out about it and claimed the area was WETLANDS.He was forced to remove the cows and replant the area cleared with trees.A certain ex County Commissioner bought the land and not long after that the mine went in.How can it be illegal to raise cows on the land but you can dig 100ft holes and keep them pumped dry?
