The Bush administration wants to quit requiring coal operators to prove that their surface mining will not damage streams, fish and wildlife. Under proposed new regulations that it will put out today for public comment, strip mine operators would have to show only that they intend "to prevent, to the extent possible using the best technology currently available," such damage. The new regulations would allow mining that alters a stream's flow as long as any environmental damage is repaired later.
