Commonwealth V. Barnes & Tucker Co.--The Burden Of Treating Acid Mine Drainage, Michael E. Winck

West Virginia Law Review

On February 28, 1977, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decided the case of Commonwealth v. Barnes & Tucker Co. That decision resolved a lengthy controversy over the issue of responsibility for the abatement of acid mine drainage emanating from an inactive deep coal mine which was owned and once operated by Barnes and Tucker Co. The Supreme Court's decision, requiring the company to bear the responsibility for the treatment of the discharge, is significant. It illustrates not only the strength of Pennsylvania's commitment to a clean environment, but also the ability of the state to act in furtherance of that …

The Federal Coal Leasing Waltz, Brian E. Mcgee, Gerald E. Dahl

West Virginia Law Review

Few Americans will deny that if we are not already immersed in an energy crisis, we are at least on the brink of a very serious energy crunch. Consequently, it is critical that we reassess our present and future energy resources, our escalating consumption of finite reserves, and. our commitment to energy conservation. Pivotal to such an assessment is the development of our nation's vast western coal deposits and the vital part that federal coal can play in this tableau. Just one short year ago, the nation was primed to embark upon a new era of federal coal leasing as …

The Black Lung Benefits Reform And Revenue Acts Of 1977, John Rollins

West Virginia Law Review

On February 15, 1978, Congress enacted the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. The passage of this legislation followed months of congressional indecision over just how the existing black lung benefits system could be reformed. During this period, the financing of the program appeared to be the most divisive issue. That issue was finally resolved by the enactment in late January of the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977. After this hurdle was cleared, the conference committee report on the reform act easily passed both houses.' The Act, which amended the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act …

Vertical Divestiture Of The Petroleum Majors: An Affirmative Case, Walter Adams

Vanderbilt Law Review

In October of 1976, the Vanderbilt Law Review published an article on vertical divestiture of the petroleum industry by Mr. Stark Ritchie, general counsel for the American Petroleum Institute. In his article, Mr. Ritchie examined the economic justifications for vertical integration in the oil industry, suggested several consequences of divestiture, and concluded that the remedy would be an inappropriate and inefficient method of increasing competition in the industry. In response to that article, Professor Adams examines the concentration of economic power in the petroleum industry, the relationship of vertical integration to the exercise of horizontal control, and the merits of …

Legislative Notes: Metallic Mining And Reclamation In Michigan: Environmental Management As A Gentler Approach, John C. Dernbach

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A great deal has been said and written about the need for meaningful reclamation requirements for the surface mining of coal. Nonetheless, little attention has been given to the large quantity of land disturbed by mining for other minerals. Thirty-eight states have laws dealing directly with reclamation from a wide variety of mining operations . For purposes of this note, reclamation refers to those measures taken concurrently with or after the mining operation to reduce or repair the adverse effects of the operation on disrupted land . Environmental management is a much broader term which encompasses the full range of …
