Republican and Democrat congressmen call for extending mine reclamation program

U.S. Reps. Matt Cartwright and Glenn Thompson, a Republican from Bellefonte, have called for renewal of a program that reclaims mine lands. âWeâre on a deadline,â Cartwright, D-8, Moosic, said Wednesday of the Abandoned Mine Land Trust Fund, which expires in September. The trust fund, established in 1977, is financed by a tax on each ton of coal mined. Cartwright said the fund paid to restore thousands of open mine portals, 1,000 miles of dangerous highwalls and restored water polluted by mine drainage. Cartwright said the Arena Hub Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Twp. and distribution centers in Hazleton sit on former mine land.
