In the previous few days, a sediment pond had been breached at another mine site. Larry, who couldn’t reach media or photographers to document this, needed our help. We had cameras, and we could document whatever had happened. After driving for over an hour, we made it to the site. While we could see mud and muck oozing down the hollow, we couldn’t make it far enough up to see exactly what happened, which got us all down because it seemed that our excursion had been for nothing, but from our vantage point there was clear devastation, retention ponds had been breeched and debris, including “black water,” was being carried all the way out to the Gauley river. The picture to the right is from our friends at Climate Ground Zero. [...] [...] When we left Larry’s and we were following him off the mountain, he got a call.
