Mining Permit Challenged By Lynch
The Lynch City Council has voted to appeal a state mining permit issued to Meadow Branch Coal to determine whether the company has a backup plan to provide water for the southeastern Kentucky city if necessary.
Councilman Carl Collins was quoted in the Harlan Daily Enterprise questioning the permit at a recent city council meeting. The city has until Dec. 2 to appeal the permit issued by the state Division of Mining Permits.
