Land Betterment Corporation Highlights Its Environmental Restoration of Coal Mines in Indiana
Company shows how it has efficiently solved environmental problems from defunct coal mine
FISHERS, Ind., October 19, 2020 /3BL Media/ - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining and industrial sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, is proud to highlight its environmental restoration of land associated with certain decommissioned thermal coal mining land in southern Indiana. In its linked presentation, the Company depicts the lifecycle of its efficient environmental solution since assuming control of the defunct Landree Mine.
Mark Jensen, Executive Chairman of Land Betterment Corporation commented, “We are proud of our environmental solutions we have been able to bring to the Landree Mine and the local community. This particular site was a neglected, environmental problem when we assumed control of the site. Like so many other thermal coal mining operations, the Landree Mine lacked the resources and vision to avoid the state of despair it found itself in. As the United Stated transitions away from coal-based fuels, underfunded, neglected and abandoned mining sites are turning into an accelerated number of environmental problems that are at a high risk of falling to the state and taxpayers. We believe this issue needs innovation and forward thinking for all stakeholders to solve these problems efficiently, while also considering the community and its lost tax revenue from the mining industry. Solutions need to be all encompassing.”
The Landree Mine, located in Greene County, Indiana, was once a longstanding provider of thermal coal; a fuel source to generate electricity for regional utilities. Upon falling on hard times and changes of ownership, the property became overrun with environmental issues due to a lack of capital, lack of innovation, lack of proper protocol and lack of oversight. Once the Company assumed control of the mining site, it implemented its plan of action to clean up the various environmental problems and bring the site back into compliance. Its innovative plan allowed them to balance the need for a sound reclamation plan alongside the need to do so in an efficient, environmentally-friendly manner which allowed its team to utilize a fraction of the fuel used in “legacy” methods. What was once a non-compliant, environmental disaster consisting of a landfill, scrapyard, mountains of waste refuge and non-functioning settlement ponds, is now a streamlined, compliant property that provides options that better fit the community and modern-day economy.
