WV Supreme Court Agrees to Hear OVEC Member's Case Against Arch Coal

Do a little dance! The WV Supreme Court has decided it will hear the case of OVEC members Leon and Lucille Miller who are trying to keep Ark Land Co. (Arch Coal’s land holding company) from forcing them off the family’s old homeplace on Mud River in Lincoln County.

Arch’s Hobet 21 mountaintop removal operation is approaching this beautiful plot of land from all sides. The trial, expected to be heard this winter, should be fascinating – you won’t believe what this family has gone through in trying to keep their land!
