Info

Bee Tree Mine on Coal River Mountain formerly owned by Massey Energy and now operated by Alpha Natural Resources. Residents fear blasting on the Bee Tree Mine could destabilize the nearby 7 billion-gallon Brushy Fork coal sludge impoundment which was built by the same engineers behind the Martin County, Kentucky dam, which failed and released some 300 million gallons of coal slurry, creating a flood as wide as a football field and 6 feet deep.
