Notes
This proposed mining site is located 400 yards above the Marsh Fork Elementary School (10 miles S of Whitesville). It houses the Shumate sludge impoundment, held by an earthen dam. In the event that the dam broke, all people at the Marsh Fork Elementary School would have less than 5 minutes to evacuate the school. On June 23rd, 2009 Appalachian residents and climate activists, including James Hansen, protested this plant. 30 people were arrested. http://www.ilovemountains.org/memorial/c301/ http://www.mountainjustice.org/events.php?id=157
