DeBenedictis[case]Keystone Bituminous Coal Association v. DeBenedictis[Keystone Bituminous Coal Association v. DeBenedictis] (1987) seems to modify Pennsylvania Coal, but neither holding determined exactly when such a regulation became a taking, and the controversy continued.Takings clause;Pennsylvania Coal Co. v.
