Hi there, you may know about this already, but just in case you haven’t heard, here’s the scoop. A company is currently applying for the necessary permits with ADEM to mine for coal in the Brushy Pond Area (Brushy Pond Mine). There was a legal notice in the Cullman Times in either July or early Aug. but we didn’t hear anything about it until one of our neighbor’s called us last night. There are 2800 acres involved and 110 landowners who are leasing their land to this company. We know for a fact that some of this land is right up the hill from Big Bridge, along 222 (towards the 4-way) and based on what we’ve heard it extends into some of the Cold Springs Area and towards Brushy Pond Rest. Most people in this area are unaware of this, so we are trying to get the word out. ADEM is accepting complaints until September 15. The contact person there is Brian Marshall, 334-27;1-7895, email bmarshall@adem.state.al.us .

Please pass the information to anyone on Lake who isn't aware....
