The Longwall had been set up in <br />the 19 Right Panel. <br />Low quality coal was being placed in the storage azea, and then washed in the wash plant. Coal mine waste <br />was being hauled to the waste disposal area. <br />Coal was being shipped by truck and by rail. <br />REVEGETATION <br />Long-term mining disturbed azeas require eventual revegetation in the reclamation plan.
