In the meantime, 500+ tones of material on the highways is nonsnese. After all, that material was removed from the mines. Where do we think it all went to?
It's 500 THOUSAND tons. Per year. The coal that came out of those holes went out by rail but that's not the point. Coal is not toxic sludge/dust and not nearly the hazard.
I read they wanted to dredge the Delaware to 55 feet but were going to settle for less. The reason they want to dredge is for container ships and has nothing to do with SUV's..or aluminum tubes. :p
