Director Joe Pizarchik Meets with
the West Virginia Coal Mine Association

January 21, 2010

As part of his West Virginia listening tour, Director Pizarchik also set aside time to hear directly from the industry itself.  The meeting with the West Virginia Coal Association (which happened immediately after the aerial mine tour), provided a useful perspective on how OSMRE should continue its effort in developing new rules, re-evaluate its oversight duties, and act as a better conduit between the regulated community and coalfield citizens.
