| Mining of this site was a difficult task from the very beginning
because of a number of obstacles that had to be eliminated or
accommodated. Prior to mining, the company was faced with the daunting
task of removing a large number of dwellings, reconstructing a mile of
road simply to access the permit area, and relocating a 20" gas
pipeline. Coal Mac would also have to relocate a 16" high-pressure
hydrocarbon transmission line as the mining progressed. |
Due to the company’s outstanding mining and reclamation efforts the
site has been successfully reclaimed to a beneficial post mining land
use of fish and wildlife habitat |
