RECLAMATION SUCCESS

Buffalo Coal Company, Inc.


The Buffalo Coal Company in Grant County, West Virginia, was awarded the 1999 West Virginia Reclamation Award. The company was commended for its outstanding attention to detail in the mining and reclamation of more than 107 acres of disturbed area with particular emphasis on water quality and wildlife habitat near the environmentally sensitive old Stony River Dam. The completed site is now ecologically superior and compatible with natural conditions of that area.
