RECLAMATION SUCCESS

Pearless Eagle Coal Co.


The Pearless Eagle Coal Company in Nicholas County, West Virginia, was awarded the 1999 West Virginia Reclamation Award. Pearless Eagle eliminated more than 1,500 feet of old abandoned highwall in the final mining and regrading of two underground operations. Following final reclamation, the more than 150 acres of mined land completely blends to the original contour for wildlife habitat benefit.

150 acres of previously-disturbed area now enhances wildlife habitat following reclamation by Pearless Eagle Coal Company
