Support Is Given
Bill to Regulate
Strip Mining Here

The problem of strip mine regu-
lation came up in the Legislature
at Annapolis this week and got
some support-with reservations
from the shippers themselves.
The House Committee on Agri-
culture and Natural Resources held
a hearing on the bill which would
require strip mine operators to fill
in the land and replant it after
coal has been removed
Operators would have to post
heavy bonds for fulfillmcnt of the
requirements.
Wallace Close, of Cumberland,
an operator who said he was also
speaking for some others, told the
committee:
we realize there should be some
kind of strip mining bill, but we
have objections to the size of the
bonds and some other provisions.
Some of the financial requirements
in this bill would drive many small
operators out of business. a strip
mining law was passed by the
Legislature in 1947 but was later
declared unconstitutional because
Gal. cit county was exempted
The new bill is similar to the
1947 act and includes both Garrett
and Allegany counties Garrett has
IS strip mines and Allegany county
has 81.
Close said the West Virginia sys-
tenn provided for a bond of $3.50 an
acre for two acres. After the first
acre has been restored the bond
would apply on the third acre and
that way the bond would never eX-
coed $500. The Maryland bill sets
$1,000 bond. He also said the De-
partment of Mines should be given
supervision over filling and re-
planting, rather than the Depart
ment of Forests and Parks.
Close was opposed on the juris-
diction matter by George Perrine
of Mt Lake Park, representing the
Garrett County Conservation as
ISOLATION.
Perrine said removed of super
vision from the Department of
Forests and Parks Just doesn't
make sense He added that Penn
sylvania charged $50 an acre for
replanting, and he doubted that
Maryland could do it for $40 con-
sidering the rough terrain involved
Close had previously remarked that
operators would be glad to pay the
department $40 an acre charged to
farmers for replanting.
Accompanying Perrine to An
napolis from Oakland we're Herbert
Wildesen, Carroll f. Miller, Elmer
Upole. Joe Kahl and Matt Storey,
Jr., all members of the Conserva-
ton association. Wildesen told the
committee that after a strip mine
job was opened above his farm, that
his cattle had refused to drink
water from stream that flowed
through the farm.
Director Frank Powers of the
State Mines department spoke
briefly in favor of the bill Arthur
Hoffa, Barton, urged the West Vir-
ginia plan. Joseph Kaylor, director
of the department of Forests and
Parks, told the committee the bill
should have provisions to insure
conservation of the areas water
resources, something which is not
clearly spelled out. He also said
that replanting in rough country
could not be done for $40 an acre.
The figure would more likely be
$50 to $50, kaylor said.
A subcommittee was named to
meet with opponents and pro-
ponents to work out a compromise.
