John Dawes, Western PA Watershed Program, provided participants in the Upper Susquehanna River Conference last week with an update on efforts by the PA AML Coalition to get legislation passed in Congress to reauthorize the federal fee that supports the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund. He urged everyone to contact their U.S. Senate and House representatives and urge them to act before Congress adjourns for their election recess. Watch Dawes’ comments on AML Fund reauthorization on the PaED Video Blog.
