“For those who will scream about the reversal of the Bush era rule on mountaintop mining, the fact of the matter is that the 1983 rule is still what is being implemented in 49 of the 50 states.  It’s a delegated program so it’s the states that are the ones that are responsible for issuing the permits for coal mining, so long as they’re in compliance with SMCRA and with the rules that are issued by OSM.  As of this point 49 states are operating under the 1983 Reagan era rule.  The only exception to that is the state of Tennessee.  So there will not be, in my view, impact on existing coal mining operations or permits that have already been issued under the 1983 rule.”
