Five people who have made significant contributions to the regulation of coal mines and the reclamation of mined lands were honored August 3 in Washington, D.C., on the 30th Anniversary of a landmark environmental law. The five were honored at a recognition ceremony at the headquarters of the U.S. Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) in Washington. Each was introduced by OSM and Department of the Interior officials and commended for "many years of service and unrelenting commitment" to the goals of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977.
