EMLS President Inducted into American Society of Mining and Reclamation

On Tuesday, EMLS president Matt Hardin was inducted into the American Society of Mining and Reclamation (ASMR). The ASMR was founded in 1973 as a small advisory council concentrating on reclamation issues in the West Virginia coalfields, but has evolved over the years into an organization with members from twenty different countries around the globe. The ASMR has also broadened its focus from the reclamation of lands disturbed by coal mining to the reclamation of all lands disturbed by any type of mining.

We look forward to working with the American Society of Mining and Reclamation in its mission to ensure that the best, research-based reclamation techniques are used in the Appalachian coalfields.
