Is there switch grass in your future................... this study could be done with $55,000. The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. BROWNFIELDS GRANT AWARDED TO WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY TO REDEVELOP FORMER SURFACE MINES EPA announced an estimated $550,000 Brownfields grant to West Virginia University on Sept. 10, at the 2008 West Virginia Brownfields Conference, titled "A Path to Progress," held in Huntington, W. Va. This grant will fund the identification and redevelopment of mine-scarred lands as production sites for biofuels and other alternative energy sources. Specifically, the grant funds will help the university's Water Research Institute find abandoned scarred mine sites that can be used to produce bio-fuels from switch grass, other bio-fuels or as wind energy farm redevelopment sites. **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

"Gem & Minerals Show" @ Mt. Chateau
by Duane330＠aol.com 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

WV Gem and Minerals Show NOTE: This Saturday and Sunday, September 20th [10 am to 6 pm] and 21st [11 am to 5 pm], please attend the "Gem and Minerals Show" being held at the Mt. Chateau Lodge. This facililty is located at the end of Mt. Chateau Road at the inlet of Cheat Lake. >From Morgantown, take WV Route 896 across the Old Iron Bridge at Ices Ferry, turn right and proceed for about one mile. See the Gem and Minerals web site: _http://www.wvgs.wvnet.edu/www/news/geodgems2008.htm_ (http://www.wvgs.wvnet.edu/www/news/geodgems2008.htm) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NOTICE: Please be aware that the Mt. Chateau facility is owned by the State of West Virginia and is the home of the WV Geological and Economic Survey. However, there is concern that the current Governor and staff have the sale of this property under consideration for sale to a development project, given the significant value of this property on the Lake. Such a sale would not likely occur until after the current re-election campaign. Former Governors have similarly been willing to dispose of portions of the Mt. Chateau property, as was done by Governor Arch Moore. The Mt. Chateau Lodge building is no longer used as a lodge, however it serves a vital function to the State in its present service for the Geological Survey and as a natural history museum. This property is ideal for scenic walks. With only a minimum of effort, it can be interconnected with the trails in the Coopers Rock State Forest. Fishing and boating access is feasible, particularly for kayaks and canoes.
