Sugar Camp receives Illinois OK to start work

摘要

Work on the Sugar Camp underground mine in Franklin County can now get under way since a Cline Group subsidiary received the company's second mining permit in Illinois. After Sugar Camp Energy posted a 7.1 million dollars bond, it has three years to "initiate disturbance" for the new mine, Ernest Ashby, permit coordinator for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, told Platts Tuesday. Sugar Camp will be a big mine, possibly producing as much as 8 million st annually, he said.
