CHARLESTON, WV (AP) -
Consol Energy is planning to idle its Fola Operations near Bickmore on Aug.
30.
The shutdown will affect 318 workers, including surface and underground
miners, and reclamation and office staff.
Pittsburgh-based Consol said Friday it expects 2012 production to be reduced
by 800,000 tons. So far this year, the Fola complex has produced more than 1
million tons of coal.
Consol said it needs to adjust to soft markets and declining demand. It also
said there's "significant uncertainty" about whether power companies
will continue to use Central Appalachian coal at their plants.
President Nicholas DeIuliis also said the warm winter left customers with
huge stockpiles, and they can't accept more shipments.
Until the layoffs begin, underground operations will continue, but surface
employees will be reassigned from mining to reclamation work.
