Abstract:
Locomotive cars returning home from delivering coal usually do so empty. But now, they will be filled with compost collected from three North Carolina counties, and use to spread across where coal mining has stripped the land. This endeavor represents a marketplace development for the state, of turning trash into treasure and constitutes an achievement of the General Assembly's Solid Waste Management Act.
