| Contents Notes |
Coal mining produces a variety of environmental problems -- acid drainage, sedimentation, surface subsidence and surface scars. The study reviews the response of legal institutions to those problems in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Technological and economic concerns are also taken into account. The study discusses the antecedents of today's Appalachian coal industry and the environmental problems it has created. It examines the way in which the property system allocates rights in coal and coal lands, the efficacy of litigation and present laws and regulations for preventing environmental damage, and constitutional limitations on the ability of states to effectively respond to the problems. A case study of the economics of the Maryland coal industry is also presented. Model legislation giving the states the necessary powers to respond to environmental problems, is proposed. |
