Coal Hollow Mine has been long plagued with compliance violations and nonpayment of property taxes.
The owners of Coal Hollow Mine near Alton must provide the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining with a $13.4 million surety by March 10, or begin reclaiming the mine’s permit area, according to the cessation order.
Coal Hollow — Utah’s only open-pit coal mine — recently secured a federal lease east of the bucolic Kane County town of Alton, and had moved its operations from private land it has mined out. The operators are now in trouble with local landowners who say the property was not properly reclaimed as required by law.
