Mountain Top Removal Coal Mining (MTR) is a relatively new type of mining where the top of a mountain is removed in order to get to the coal. Most of this type of mining takes place in the Southern and Central Appalachian Mountains. The process is devastating to the local ecosystem, burying and contaminating streams, and destroying wildlife habitat. It devastates human communities by contaminating drinking water, causing severe flooding, damaging property, and even taking lives. Mining companies are required to reclaim the land, but usually a few species of grass replace a once diverse forest. Many of the mines encompass multiple peaks and thousands of acres in between.
