I'm far from an expert on this. I know there is some mountaintop removal being done in southeastern Virginia, Tennessee and western Maryland. I just don't know the extent. In traveling to Cumberland last month I saw a mountaintop removal site right off of the interstate. Ironically, I was going to a college there to show the Black Diamonds documentary which is about mountaintop removal. Some members of an environmental group there told me that there was a lot more of it going on in that area. It just isn't visible from the highway.
