Approximately 12 million tons of coal are mined annually. The paper presented discussed Peabody's mining operation on Black Mesa. Topics detailed include transportation of the coal via the Black Mesa pipeline, dewatering of the slurry, water supply, and Peabody's cross-cultural training program. (JMT)
