ARCH TO SUPPLY GRAND ISLAND TWO-YEAR COAL NEED OUT OF BLACK THUNDER MINE

摘要

Grand Island Electric Department and Arch Coal have entered into a two-year coal supply contract which was approved last week by the Grand Island (NE) city council. The utility will receive an estimated 350,000 tons/year out of Arch's Black Thunder mine in the southern Powder River Basin of Wyoming. The coal will be delivered via Union Pacific Southern Pacific Railroad. Grand Island had solicited offers on 200,000-400,000 t/y, with suppliers given the option to bid on either or both years (CW 11-6-00).
