Federal regulators are holding a public hearing in Charleston on a proposed stream protection rule.
The U.S. Office of Surface Mining and Reclamation’s hearing on the rule will take place Thursday evening at the Charleston Civic Center. The agency says the proposed rule overhauls a set of regulations that are three decades old.
