Longview Power continuously strive to be good corporate neighbor and responsible steward of the environment.
Additionally, efforts are ongoing to keep our community clean by participating in the “Adopt a Highway” litter removal program and various other roadside and property clean up projects.
Longview also promotes the local community by sponsoring the Morgantown Pony Baseball League. The MPBL supports approximately 600 youth baseball players in the Morgantown area. The Longview Power Mustang division team (9-10 year olds) completed the 2017 season as undefeated champions. Congratulations team!
- 2018-2019 Rt. 53 Road Upgrade
- In 2017, the Longview Power management team began meeting with the WV Department of Highways in an effort to address the rapidly deteriorating road of Route 53, specifically Fort Martin hill to the plant. In conjunction with WV DOH approvals and plans, repairs to the Rt. 53 began Summer of 2018 and continued in 2019 with base road repairs, culvert cleaning and replacements, and placement of turning lanes for the Crafts Run Road intersection. These repairs and upgrades were completed in October 2019, and the WV State Division of Transportation completed a top coat of the pavement in November 2019.
- “Back to School Bash” Support
- Since its inception in 2018, Longview employees have held a school supply donation to support the Back to School Bash, hosted by the Pantry Plus More. This outreach allows any student enrolled in a Monongalia County school to engage in a “back to school” shopping experience, free of charge, and allows them freedom to choose their school supply needs, including backpacks, notebooks, calculators, pencils, pens, etc. This outreach also includes free haircuts, dental exams, and a mobile food giveaway.
- Between 2018 – 2020, Longview employees have raised almost $8,000 for this outreach.

Longview Power’s affiliate AMD Reclamation, Inc. constructed and operate an acid mine drainage treatment system that saved Dunkard Creek, a major tributary of the Monongahela River in southwestern Pennsylvania from an impending catastrophic breakout of acid mine discharge from an abandoned mine. AMD Reclamation, Inc. has committed to expand this system to treat additional acid mine discharges to Dunkard Creek to enhance the aquatic life in the stream. These ongoing efforts will result in enhanced fishing and other recreational activities for the local community.
