Logan County, WV was just given the distinct honor horror of the largest MTR permit in WV history. The mine will clock in at an astonishing 2,278 acres. The “dredge-and-fill” permit will allow them to bury nearly 7 miles of streams.

Only the Hobet 21 mine will exceed this site, and that is due to areas that were added to the Hobet mine AFTER the initial permit.
