===Strip Mine Proposal in 2008===
Mine proposal "dead on arrival," Onorato says - Saturday, June 14, 2008
Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato said a proposal to strip mine a nature preserve in South Park "is not going to go forward" after hearing from outraged citizens at a meeting today at South Park High School.
About 300 people attended the informal hearing on a proposal from Green Vue Systems to mine the environmentally sensitive Sleepy Hollow area of the county park and to replace the wooded land with 12 ballfields when mining operations ended. When Mr. Onorato asked for a show of hands, no more than 20 indicated interest in the Green Vue proposal.
Jon Hiser, an engineer for Green Vue Systems, spoke briefly, finishing to a chorus of boos after he called the trees of Sleepy Hollow "a renewable resource."
Mr. Onorato said afterward that the mining proposal would not be revived.
"It's dead on arrival," he said.
