1. Massey Mining & the environmental disaster in 2000 edit
Some mention should be made of the toxic coal sluge spill that occurred in 2000 which devasted local fish populations in some of the creeks and waterways of the county.
>>I completely agree. I just read about this in a research article. Here is the quote with citation if someone would include it in the main article:
- "On October 11, 2000, a 72-acre, 2.3 billion gallon impoundment near Inez, Kentucky, failed, ruining property, destroying drinking water systems, and killing animal and aquatic life. This recent catastrophe in one of the poorest counties in a poor region of our nation received little national media attention, although the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) declared it the worst environmental disaster in the history of the Southeast (EPA, 2001)."
- (p. 911, Smith, L. (2008) Positioning classism within counseling psychology’s social justice agenda. The Counseling Psychologist, 36, 895-924.)
