As a consequence, coal is now used to supply more than half of the electricity of the United States. The abundant supply of coal has made it the most economical fuel source for steam-generated electricity. Coal is the lowest cost way to produce steam- generated electricity in the United States. The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) serves 29 states and two Canadian provinces. It consists of 35,000 route miles of track. BNSF serves ports in the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles/Long Beach and San Francisco Bay areas, on the Gulf Coast and the Great Lakes. BNSF is the world's largest transporter of low-sulfur coal (typically 0.3-0.5% sulfur content). BNSF serves over 40 mines in eight states, and other mines by interchange with other railroads. About two-thirds of the coal BNSF hauls each year is delivered to final destination by a service partner, either a water carrier or another railroad. In 2000, BNSF moved approximately 230 million tons of coal to 60 utilities. BNSF- hauled coal has been burned by electric utilities in 28 states, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan and Europe.

Utilities burning high-sulfur coal must decide whether to install expensive scrubbers, purchase emission credits or switch to cleaner-burning low- sulfur coal to comply with the Clean Air Act's emissions standards. The Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming (PRB) has the largest reserves of cleaner-burning low-sulfur coal in the United States (76%). In fact, eight of the 10 largest mines in the United States are in the PRB. Wyoming ranks first in coal production; Montana is eighth. PRB coal production has grown rapidly, and the upcoming implementation of Phase II of the Clean Air Act is expected to cause another rapid expansion of PRB production. PRB Coal Production 1990-2000 400 350 300 250 200 150 Million Tons 100 50 0 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 Of the 15 steam electric plants with the lowest cost per mega-watt-hour in the United States, 11 burn PRB coal. Western U.S. coal is even more economical despite being transported farther than Interior or Appalachian coal. It has a lower average delivered fuel cost per MMBTU than Interior or Appalachian coal with nearly 70 to 80 percent of the Btu value. Low-sulfur PRB coal does not require expensive scrubbers to comply with the Clean Air Act. PRB coal has one-half to one-sixth the sulfur content of most other coal sources. The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company started shipping coal from the Powder River Basin almost 30 years ago. During that time, BNSF has shipped over 3.0 billion tons of PRB coal. PRB coal accounts for over 85 percent of the coal trains originated by BNSF. - 7 - MONTANA / WYOMING - POWDER RIVER BASIN ____________________________________________________________________ to Bismarck l Glendive l Forsyth to Pacific Northwest North Dakota u Rosebud - Westmoreland (.80, 8750) u Big Sky - Peabody (.74, 8800) u Absaloka - Westmoreland (.64, 8750) Montana u Spring Creek - Kennecott (.34, 9350) u Decker - Kiewit/Kennecott (.40, 9500) Sheridan l u Buckskin - Vulcan (.38, 8400) l Dutch u Eagle Butte - RAG American (.34, 8400) u Rawhide - Peabody (.36, 8320) u Dry Fork - Western Fuels (.37, 8175) u Fort Union - Kennecott (.42, 7990) South Dakota u Clovis Point - Wyodak (.42, 8050) Gillette l Campbell l l Donkey Creek Caballo - Peabody (.36, 8500) n n Belle Ayr - RAG American (.33, 8550) Caballo Rojo - Kennecott (.32, 8450) n Cordero - Kennecott (.37, 8350) n n Coal Creek - Arch (.33, 8350) Reno Jct n Jacobs Ranch - Kennecott (.45, 8695) n Black Thunder - Arch (.30, 8800) Wyoming n N Rochelle - Vulcan (.23, 8800) l Edgemont n N Antelope/Rochelle - Peabody (.20, 8800) Antelope - Kennecott (.22, 8800) n Nebraska l Guernsey Alliance

  • Sagebrush Establishment on Mine Lands
    2000 Billings Land Reclamation Symposium BIG SAGEBRUSH (ARTEMISIA TRIDENTATA) COMMUNITIES - ECOLOGY, IMPORTANCE AND RESTORATION POTENTIAL Stephen B. Monsen and Nancy L. Shaw Abstract Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) is the most common and widespread sagebrush species in the Intermountain region. Climatic patterns, elevation gradients, soil characteristics and fire are among the factors regulating the distribution of its three major subspecies. Each of these subspecies is considered a topographic climax dominant. Reproductive strategies of big sagebrush subspecies have evolved that favor the development of both regional and localized populations. Sagebrush communities are extremely valuable natural resources. They provide ground cover and soil stability as well as habitat for various ungulates, birds, reptiles and invertebrates. Species composition of these communities is quite complex and includes plants that interface with more arid and more mesic environments. Large areas of big sagebrush rangelands have been altered by destructive grazing, conversion to introduced perennial grasses through artificial seeding and invasion of annual weeds, principally cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.). Dried cheatgrass forms continuous mats of fine fuels that ignite and burn more frequently than native herbs. As a result, extensive tracts of sagebrush between the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains are rapidly being converted to annual grasslands. In some areas recent introductions of perennial weeds are now displacing the annuals. The current weed invasions and their impacts on native ecosystems are recent ecological events of unprecedented magnitude. Restoration of degraded big sagebrush communities and reduction of further losses pose major challenges to land managers. Loss of wildlife habitat and recent invasion of perennial weeds into seedings of introduced species highlight the need to stem losses and restore native vegetation where possible.

  • Alpha Natural Resources Selects Plum Energy to Supply LNG for Eagle Butte Mine Haul Trucks
    Alpha Natural Resources Selects Plum Energy To Supply LNG for Eagle Butte Mine Haul Trucks BRISTOL, Va., Sept. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE: ANR), announced today that Plum Energy LLC will construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on property adjacent to Alpha Coal West Inc.'s Eagle Butte Mine, near Gillette, Wyoming. The Plum Energy facility will supply LNG to Alpha Coal West's mine haul vehicles, producing cost efficiencies and fuel savings for its mining operations. Natural gas becomes LNG when the gas is cooled to more than 260 degrees below zero and the volume becomes 1/600th of the gaseous form, turning the gas into a liquid fuel. LNG is a clean, efficient fuel and is extremely attractive from a price point when compared to the cost of conventional diesel fuel. Alpha Coal West began testing LNG technologies developed by GFS Corp. in trucks at the Belle Ayr Mine in 2012, beginning a pilot program of the world's first LNG-powered mine haul trucks. After 18 months of daily operation, Alpha Coal West decided to proceed with the conversion to LNG of its 16 Caterpillar 793 haul trucks at the nearby Eagle Butte Mine. Alpha Coal West expects the alterations to the trucks, each of which is capable of hauling 240-tons of coal, or the equivalent of two railroad cars, to be completed by the end of 2014. Plum Energy's LNG plant at the Eagle Butte Mine, scheduled to come online in March 2015, will be able to produce 28,500 gallons of LNG a day.
