We need to stop ignoring these problems and start making these mine owners fix these problems.

Don't these get set up as a shell corporation that then declares bankruptcy once the mine is depleted? Nobody but the taxpayers left holding the bag..

Now let's create a map and not do anything about it. Yay.

And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
