| A large mountaintop coal removal site involving valley fill will go back to court.
This time the battle will focus on a project that Fola Coal Company wants in Nicholas and Clay counties.
Environmentalists, the federal government and coal industry will go at it again over the controversial valley fill technique associated with mountaintop removal mining.
The two-day court hearing will begin today in federal court in Huntington.
Environmental groups are challenging the way the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issues valley fill permits and how the coal industry deals with the streams that are covered with rocks and dirt.
