Company Name: | Peabody Coal Company | ||
---|---|---|---|
Mine Name: | River King Pit No. 6 Mine | ||
Start Date: | 1976 | End Date: | 1992 |
Type of Mine: | Surface | ||
Total acres shown: | 9,589 The area shown on the accompanying map, combined with that shown on Tilden and New Athens East Quadrangles, is much larger than expected for the reported production. The area shown for River King Surface Mine (mine index 857) on the Freeburg, Mascoutah, and New Athens East Quadrangles is much smaller than indicated for the reported production. If both index numbers are combined for all of the River King Surface mines, the area shown on the quadrangle maps is in line with the reported production. The total area mined was 13,164 acres for a total 104,187,734 tons. | ||
