While the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection's Surface Mine Board hears the appeal to Fayette County's Open Fork Number 2 surface mine permit, concerned citizens hold a press conference to let their concerns be heard about the impending impacts on human health, clean drinking water and the thriving tourism based economy that has developed around the New River Gorge, which is only a few short miles away from the proposed mine.
