CITIZENS COAL COUNCIL: FOR JUSTICE IN THE COALFIELDS
Our Most Recent Accomplishments
PADEP 6th Act 54 Report: CCC firmly opposed the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's (PADEP) proposed changes to its upcoming 6th Act 54 Five-Year Report on underground mining impacts due to be released in early 2024. These alterations risk compromising the report's integrity and analysis, which is crucial for safeguarding communities and the environment.
Ten-Day Notice Litigation: CCC, advocating for coalfield citizens, led a two-year legal fight against the Department of Interior (DOI) over the Trump Administration's 2020 Ten-Day Notice rulemaking for Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) violations. Our efforts prompted the DOI to issue a 2023 Ten-Day Notice rulemaking, directly addressing concerns raised in our legal complaint.
Ten-Day Notice Comments: CCC organized a coalition campaign in response to the DOI's proposed 2023 Ten-Day Notice rulemaking. Attorney Tom Fitzgerald submitted comments largely supporting the proposed rule, backed by CCC, Sierra Club, and Appalachian Voices, garnering support from 31 organizations.
