THE WYOMING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COUNCIL NOW WILL TAKE WRITTEN COMMENTS FROM PROPONENTS AND OPPONENTS BEFORE DECIDING ON A PERMIT IN AUGUST.

THE LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY-BASED RAMACO WANTS TO MINE COAL FROM THE BROOK MINE NEAR SHERIDAN FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES.

THAT COULD INCLUDE MAKING CARBON FIBER, A MATERIAL USED IN CAR AND AIRPLANE PARTS.

IT WOULD BE WYOMING'S FIRST MAJOR NEW COAL MINE IN DECADES.

BUT LOCAL RESIDENTS REPRESENTED BY THE SHERIDAN-BASED POWDER RIVER BASIN RESOURCE COUNCIL WORRY THE MINE COULD LOWER THE WATER TABLE AND BLASTING COULD DESTABILIZE THEIR HOMES.

ON THE OTHER HAND, RAMACO OFFICIALS SAY THEY'VE ADDRESSED THOSE CONCERNS TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED.
