The coal-pile proposal has not been dropped.  The article below  explains why 
the project is  "wounded but not dead."  
 
A few days ago, an article appeared in the business section of the  Ames 
DAILY TRIBUNE in which (I think) it was stated that the City of Ames  and ISU 
would like the project to go forward because they would  benefit financially.  
Sorry, I couldn't find a link to that newer  article.

"Then as to scenery...while I know the standard claim is that  Yosemite, 
Niagara Falls, and the upper Yellowstone and the like, afford the  greatest 
natural shows, I am not sure but the Prairies and Plains, while less  stunning at 
first sight, last longer, fill the aesthetic sense fuller, precede  all the 
rest, and make North America's characteristic landscape." (Walt  Whitman)
