From Blue Earth Alliance:
Mountains in Appalachia are systematically dismantled in order to  extract coal more cheaply.  This is in the beginning phase of a Mountain  Top Removal site. Hundreds of feet of elevation will ultimately be  blasted from each mountain.  Over 500 mountains have been destroyed to  this point. From Paul Corbit Brown’s “Toxic Water, Poisoned People: When  Mountains Fall To Pay For Coal.”
