“The Nationwide 21 permit has been in use in Ohioʼs coal mine for decades, and
was recently re-approved by the Army Corps,” said Gibbs. “Now the US EPA has
decided to come in and change course, putting thousands of coal jobs in Ohio in
jeopardy; we cannot stand for that type of irresponsible regulation.”
Senator Gibbs also questioned the lack of participation by Zack Space at the
public hearing. “First Zack votes with Pelosi to kill coal jobs and raise energy
prices with Cap-and-Trade, and then he doesnʼt think it is important enough to
even send a member of his staff to help save these coal jobs,” commented Gibbs
on the absence. “If we are going to be successful in fighting the EPA and the
Obama administrationʼs attack on our coal industry, we need every elected
official to participate. It is discouraging to see Zackʼs lack of concern for our
area.”
Senator Gibbs also encourages other concerned Ohio residents to voice their
objections to the Army Corps by logging onto www.Regulations.gov under docket
