"Since 1980, the number of plans for new mining projects filed with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has fallen steeply" and the industry is "throttled when projects never materialize and jobs are sent offshore." Congress must "gain a better understanding of the economic impacts of NEPA on the mining industry and American economy." State Issues
At various times, the organization posts requests for specific actions for the states of Colorado, Kentucky, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. References
