[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1477634, member: 6291"] Im sure its like every thing else.. some companies care... some don't. Here they take the brush off and get rid of it. Then they clear the top soil and make a huge mountain furthest away. Then they take the next level and put it closer, next level closer. Then they dredge out the coal. They fill that spot back with the fly ash byproduct from burning the coal. Then they put all the layers back one by one and scoot over. They have huge tractors disking and planting behind them. Its pretty quick also... maybe a year or two. It looks great after they are done. Its better than the uranium stuff. They basically use a water flood to bring it up. The rules are so outdated that they cant allow people in and around the water wells. They still follow the old rules like its being dug out. [/QUOTE]
