Caballo Rojo, Mobil's new surface mine, in the Wyoming Powder River Basin, began shipping coal to Sunflower Electric Cooperative in Kansas in April. The size of the operation--320 million tons in 5800 acres-- dictated new design requirements. Topsoil removal, drilling, overburden stripping, stockpiling, and loading are all specified as to equipment. The technical progression system is based on seniority. The safety department has also spelled out operating rules and practices--and the safety record has been good. The geology of the Wyodak-Anderson seam is described in an inset.
