My dad always said when he looked at a dirt bank or rock bank, “We paid for them as our pay was docked for too much dirt or too much rock; now the coal companies are reaping the harvest again.”

All the miners should be paid for anything that is imported into the coal region: garbage, sewage, flyash, etc. We have to live with it.
