Judge
to Decide Mining Future in Dysart Woods
BELMONT
COUNTY, OH. (2004-10-13) The coordinator of a group
trying to protect Dysart Woods says this Friday is,
quote, "the ultimate day of reckoning" for the Belmont
County forest.
That's when a judge is supposed to
hear arguments on whether a company should stop mining
temporarily while a court case continues on a permanent
halt.
Chad Kister of Dysart Defenders says the
mining is about to do serious harm to the
forest.
He says past mining has impacted parts of
the watershed, but future mining would be around and
under old growth forests where it could do even greater
damage.
Kister says that's why it's so important
that Dysart Defenders wins Friday's hearing.
The
mining company has denied any serious environmental
damage is being done.
