- Since September of 2010, ECo has been heavily involved in the fight against a proposed mine along the Black Warrior River to be located 800 feet from a Birmingham Water Intake.
- As students at UA, we are extremely concerned with the mine proposal, as it is set to be built on UA property along the Black Warrior River. For the past two years, we have been proudly working alongside community groups, environmental organizations, student organizations, and numerous scientists and public health advocates educating citizens about the issue and publicizing the potential impacts of the Shepherd Bend Mine on Birmingham's drinking water.
