Located near Sheridan, Wyoming Big Horn Coal Company became the first “surface coal mine” in the nation back in 1944. It mined more than 47 million tons of coal and moved more than 182 million cubic yards of overburden in its mine life. In fall 2000, Big Horn Coal finished backfilling, grading and top-soiling all pit areas ending its 57 years of mining.
Buckskin Mining Company is located 10 miles north of Gillette, Wyoming within the Southern Powder River Basin. The mine has a current capacity of 25 million tons per year and delivers its coal to numerous customers throughout the United States.
Established in 1989, Walnut Creek has a capacity of more than 2 million tons of lignite per year. The mine produces and hauls the fuel to the nearby Twin Oaks power plant, providing an excellent energy source for its customers in East Texas.
The 11 pits that made up Rosebud Coal Sales Company yielded 32 million tons of coal during its 40-year history. As reclamation efforts evolved, many innovative techniques were developed to complete reclamation of 4,000 acres. As a result, Kiewit has helped shape the current industry and state standards and guidelines for post-mining reclamation.
