Thank you, Chris CIIeriir COAL West Virginia Coal Association 200 Association Drive, Ste. 160, Charleston, WV 25311 (304) 342-4153 Fax 342-7651 www.wvcoal.com February 5, 2025 The Honorable Lee Zeldin ED_018475D_00000789-00001 Environmental Protection Agency Office of Administrator, 1101A 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20460 Dear Administrator, Zeldin: I am writing to invite you to address our Annual West Virginia Mining Symposium and Coal Show scheduled for April 15-16, 2025, in the Grand Ball Room of the Charleston Coliseum and Conference Center in Charleston, West Virginia. The Mining Symposium is the premier mining program of the year in West Virginia, attracting over 400 mining professionals from West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. A general review and discussion of the nation's energy and environmental challenges and the role of coal under your administration would be desirable and timely. Ideally, we would prefer to feature you with Governor Patrick Morrisey in our Keynote Session on the morning of Tuesday, April 15th but would accommodate whatever time or day best fits your schedule. This year's program begins at 9 a.m. on April 15th and runs through 4:30 pm on Wednesday, April 16th. We applaud President Trump's energy and environmental actions over the past couple weeks and look forward to a "more balanced EPA" under your leadership and administration. We hope our 2025 Mining Symposium lines up with your schedule and availability and your personal interest to engage with our members. We look forward to working with you and your team over the coming years and equally look forward to your presence and remarks in April. Sincerely, Chris R.
