Many good points have been shared and discussed here on the Forum. Communication is key when helping educate one another. I share with you a few important facts to ponder.

The coal company's permit P-3939 as submitted to the Alabama Surface Mining Commission, is incomplete. Numerous pieces of information which were required to be submitted as part of the application are non-existent. The coal company simply indicates these omissions are "pending".

Consider this analogy, you want to purchase a house, the lender requests financial information to assess your credit worthiness, your response, my financial statement is pending but go ahead and process my loan application anyway. This in essence is what the coal company is asking. Give us the permit and we will then "fill in the blanks".

Of the fifty some landowners whose property is included in the proposed 1436 acre strip mine project, only three of these owners have actually signed a lease with the coal company. The coal company's submitted data on the permit application indicates that all property leases are "pending". No blasting plan exists with this permit application, where is it? The number of sediment retention ponds fluctuates depending on which map you have access to. Make your own decisions, should we allow a coal company who has been less that forthright with the process thus far, mine coal on the shores of Smith Lake? In this case making a judgment based on one's actions rather than relying on future promises will expose the true intent of this proposed venture.
