Feds approve $52.4M to cleanup abandoned mine land sites in Pennsylvania (which has the most AML of any state.) The money comes as the federal AML trust fund is set to expire on Sept. 30 unless lawmakers can reach an agreement to reauthorize it. bit.ly/3e7mqNH

If companies fail, the commonwealth is likely to inherit the cleanup costs for abandoned wells. More than half of Pa.'s 51,000 active oil wells were drilled before 1984 and were not required to post any plugging bond.

Coal power plant owners worry Gov. Wolf's plan to put a fee on carbon emissions will price them out of the market. But Pa. DEP has a plan to ease the burden on plants that burn waste coal piles. #RGGI bit.ly/2vBnVz7
