The myth about Clean Coal - Click here to see the truth.
On
June 24th, 2010, and only a very short time after Maryland Energy Resources, LLC (MER) began their site construction of the
coal mine located Grantsville, Maryland, an unauthorized discharge of mine site runoff occurred into the Casselman River .
This discharge occurred upstream from where two Maryland Endanagered species reside. The Maryland Departmernt of the
Environment was promptly notified of this apparent "accident". However, it remains unknown as to whether there was
any enforcement action brought against the mining company. It is clear that this accident supports existing public concerns
that MER and the Bureau Of Mines (MDE), are incapable of protecting the Casselman River, and it's resources, under this permitting
activity.
