OSTI ID:6910215
A number of legal issues and problems developed when Kentucky achieved primacy; i.e., it assumed the primary regulatory responsibility for enforcing environmental laws concerning coal mining operations. This article describes how Kentucky phased in the new state law. It covers the legal issues of when various parts of the law would take effect, revisions in the rulemaking after primacy, and legal challenges made to the Secretary of the Interior's approval of the Kentucky program, some leading to injunctions. 84 references.
