National Wildlife Refuge Selected for Remediation!!

Good news for the Cahaba River~~
Old mining spoils and a high wall on the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge have been selected as a priority cleanup site for the 2008 Alabama Abandoned Mine Lands Program. This is something that we have been working toward for three years with our VISTA program, and a huge accomplishment for the Cahaba River Society, the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge, our regional Office of Surface Mining, and our state AML office.
