Take Action to Help Amend or Stop SB 686
SB 686 should be amended so homeowners will receive the replacement cost of their home when a surface home is destroyed by subsidence from longwall coal mining of a tract that will be enabled by this bill. Without being amended, the homeowner will only get the appraised value of the home, and not the cost of hauling off the wrecked home and building a replacement. More

URGENT — Take Action to Protect Surface Owners
SB 686 would allow coal companies to longwall mine with approval from ONLY 75% of the co-tenants, or people who share ownership of the coal underlying the surface. This bill would allow more people’s homes and properties to be damaged or destroyed by longwall coal mine subsidence with too little or no compensation because it lacks the surface owner protections included in the cotenancy law that passed for oil and gas companies.

URGENT — Lawmakers Are Choosing Coal Companies Over Constituents
SB 686 would allow coal companies to longwall mine with approval from ONLY 75% of the people who own the underlying surface tract. This “forced subsidence” bill would override the full consent of surface owners, harming the rights of surface owners around West Virginia. More
