Mountaintop removal mining begins with forest clear-cuts, and utilizes explosives to blast off the tops of mountain peaks. Even before the 1995 rider, salvage sales had big bonuses: Because, in theory, dead and dying trees need to be harvested quickly, the sales had an expedited review process; they were exempt from a number of environmental restrictions, like prohibitions against logging in environmentally sensitive areas; salvage clear-cuts had no size limits, whereas clear-cuts of green trees were limited to 40 acres; and the agency got to keep all proceeds from salvage sales. Clear-cuts larger than 10 acres are uncommon, and early large clear-cuts have been reforested. |
