The popular image of surface coal mining is changing. Highly trained and well-compensated mining technicians operate modern equipment in pleasant surroundings to extract low-sulfur coal from the ground. Scientific methods are used to reclaim the mined-out land, and even the needs of the native pronghorn antelope are not overlooked. The purpose of this paper is to describe Atlantic Richfield's first surface coal mine Black Thunder and some of the features that we feel make it unique.
