pic 18 Landslide

TDEC granted a permit for National Coal for this site. During the hearing process they never once mentioned the 5 different landslides which we located while in the field. By the time we got out and saw the site the comment period was over and it was to late. The landslides are the result of post SMCRA mining, these are not prelaw slides. TDEC and OSM are granting permits in the same area where the same mining techniques and engineering has created massive landslides in the past.
