Documentation of Mountaintop Removal in West Virginia
Aerial photographs documenting mountaintop removal mining on Cherry Pond and Kayford mountains in West Virginia. Mountaintop removal mining is a destructive type of surface mining at a mountain's summit. Explosives are used to remove rock layers in order to access coal seams below. The overburden rock is deposited in the valley, permanently scarring the mountain and burying miles of streams.
