Coal miners on the graveyard shift in an underground mine in Twilight, W. VA. Twilight is in Boone County, West Virginia, with a 2010 population of 90. The Twilight surface mine, which flattened and stripped an expanse of heavily-forested mountains covering more than 3.5 square miles, has met most of its official clean-up requirements. But Dustin White, whose father was a miner with West Virginia roots going back 11 generations, says: “It’s all to give the illusion that they’ve reclaimed these sites, when basically it’s dead land. Any novice gardener can tell you that you can’t grow much in what is essentially clay mud and shell rock, and that’s all that’s left over when mining is done. All the topsoil has been dumped into the valleys, and it’s just this barren landscape.” Jon Chase photo
