“Barack Obama withdrew an existing coal permit that had been issued years prior.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·The Obama administration retroactively revoked a major coal mining permit issued four years earlier.
In January 2011, the Obama administration officially revoked a permit for the Spruce No. 1 mine in West Virginia, which was one of the largest planned mountaintop removal coal mines . This permit had been issued years earlier in 2007 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during the George W. Bush administration . This action marked the first time in the history of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it had retroactively vetoed a previously authorized mining permit . While the administration also implemented a broad moratorium on new coal leasing on federal lands in 2016 , the specific withdrawal of an existing, multi-year-old permit is a documented fact regarding the Arch Coal project . High-credibility sources confirm the EPA used its authority under the Clean Water Act to block the project despite the permit's prior approval .
