Ison Rock Ridge Blasting Permit Hearing

Andover, VA

March 9, 2009 06:00PM to 09:00PM

Hosted by Adam Wells

Event Description:

On Ison Rock Ridge, just above the town of Appalachia, Va, a surface mining permit is being requested by A&G coal company. This permit includes areas within the town limits of Appalachia and will dramatically impact the quality of life for hundreds of people who live in and around the communities of Andover, Arno, Derby, Inman, Roda and Osaka.

Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards is organizing community members and concerned citizens throughout the region to converge at the permit hearing to say enough is enough and demand that the permit application be revoked.

Join us at the Andover Methodist Church Community Center as we call on the regulatory agencies created to protect our communities to do their job and revoke the permit!!
