I did it for ya... here is some information from Massey Energy......


In the spring of 2001, the Community of Craigsville, WV found itself with the remnants of a small lake that had been drained due to concerns that the dam might break. The original dam was constructed in the early eighties using material that over time had become unstable. Alex Energy, a Massey subsidiary, began construction of a new dam and lake in the Spring of 2001 and Indian Lake was completed by that fall. The dam is state-of-the-art and includes a fully grouted spill way along with a drain. The lake has been stocked and landscaped, providing local residents the opportunity to enjoy walking trails, fishing and other outdoor activities.

Massey Energy purchased the land and donated it to the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources for the construction of the Earl Ray Tomblin Convention Center. The center is a part of the Chief Logan State Park in Logan, WV. [Image: http://www.masseyenergyco.com/Images/EnvConvCtr1.gif]



Massey is working with the Mingo County Redevelopment Authority to provide the Mingo and Logan County area with a state-of-the-art dirt racetrack. The dirt track is a one-half mile oval located on a reclaimed portion of Massey’s North Surface Mine between Logan and Williamson, West Virginia. The total area of the complex will be approximately 55 acres, including parking and access.

The Elk Run dome is a first-of-its-kind air supported vinyl building to cover coal stockpiles, preventing coal dust from reaching nearby communities. The building is supported only by air pressure supplied by an electric blower. The blower also supplies fresh air while equipment is operating inside the facility. It is equipped with two additional back-up blowers and a back-up power generator to insure that no mechanical failure or power outage will cause the dome to deflate. The dome is the size of several football fields.
