摘要

Judge Haden said past permits were issued "in express disregard of the corp's own regulations and the Clean Water Act." A federal judge in West Virginia ordered the US Army Corp of Engineers to stop issuing permits allowing mountaintop removal coal mining. Judge Charles Haden's order could have a devastating effect on the state's coal mining industry and the thousands of people employed by it, mining industry leaders said. 'This is extremely disruptive to the thousands and thousands of miners we have employed here in West Virginia and to their families and to their communities," said Chris Hamilton, senior vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association. Haden, in May, said the Corp of Engineers during 2000 issued permits that allowed mining companies to fill 140 km (87 miles) of streambeds with mine tailings. "Past permit approvals were issued in express disregard of the corp's own regulations and the Clean Water Act," Haden said. "As such, they were illegal." Haden also ruled that the corp's recent attempts to reform its dumping regulations were also illegal. He said the corp's actions were an "attempt to legalize their longstanding illegal regulatory practice. The rule change was designed simply for the benefit of the mining industry and its employees," Haden said.
