Some of the most environmentally degraded communities can be found in Appalachian coal country and the Western Hardrock mining region. Dr. Allan Comp, a program analyst with the Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining, wants to change that.

He joins us as part of Federal News Radio’s “Sammies Tracker” series.
