Hill to sue on costly minini
Cc
United Press Internaltional
AUSTIN — Attorney General
John Hill said Tuesday he will file
suit to block enforcement of federal
strip mining legislation which could
prevent mining of eight billion tons
of Texas lignite.
The suit against U.S. Interior Sec
retary Cecil Andrus will be filed in
U.S. district court seeking to set
aside federal regulations dealing
with strip mining on land designated
as prime farm land.
Hill said the designation is tpo
broad, and could make strip mining
so costly it would be prohibitive on
Texas grazing land.
“It’s just bureaucratic overkill to
have these regulations,” he said.
“These bureaucrats in Washington
just don’t understand what is and
what is not prime farm land in this
state.”
Under terms of the federal regu
lations, topsoil would have to be
stripped from prime farm land and
stored separately from other soil
covering the lignite deposits.
Hill said grazing land would bene
fit from a mixing of the topsoil and
other soil before it is replaced over
stripmining sites. But the cost of re
moving and storing the two types of
soil separately would make the cost
of lignite mining prohibitive, he
said.
“Eight billion tons ofTexaslij
are at stake. This is 70 to 80pa
of our near-surface lignite,” he
Hill said state plans to come;
percent of the electrical
plants in Texas to lignite powg
1985 will be jeopardized by thti
eral regulations.
