Both, from what I gather. I will look more into it when I get back tomorrow. I will post the local thoughts after Tuesday, when I get my modem installed.

Personally, I'm kinda for it unless someone convinces me otherwise. There are lots of strip mines up there and they are UGLY! I think anything that fills in the holes and restores the landscape is a good thing. Mount Trashmore in VA Bch is a good thing, no discernable leakage, methane vents relieve the pressure to prevent "explosions" and the area has been turned into a park. Ducks and all.

If they can fill those mines with anything (even trash) and cover it with ten feet of dirt and plant a tree on it, I will vote for it. Unless they turn the area into another Love Canal.
