The original coal mine did "interfere" with the environment, and was never put back to original condition.

As far as the LCK project, there is much better prospects of the area being re-established after the life of the project is complete due to the scrutinised process we are going through

The original coal mine was actually closed by government decision, claiming lack of coal as the reason. (political excuse)

This project will not only benefit the local community, but also the energy needs of the state, and I believe will also give a renewed confidence to the whole process of production of syngas. LCK have an opportunity here to not only supply 7% of the gas to the Eastern seaboard, but also become world leaders in latest technology advances that could be utilised globally. (ie: Africana)

A very good day by all accounts, and more to follow.... Please DYOR.
