Razoo Causes: Mountaintop Removal
Stay informed, contribute to this page, and connect with others.
Mountaintop removal mining (MTR) is a relatively new form of coal mining that involves the mass restructuring of earth in order to reach minerals as deep as 1,000 feet below the surface. MTR requires that the targeted land be clear-cut and then leveled by use of explosives. The debris created is typically scraped into a valley fill. Most mountaintop removal in the United States occurs in West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky.
