SnapshotDuring 2019-2020, Peabody consolidated its Indiana coal production into two mines (Bear Run and Francisco), dismantling the Somerville Central, Somerville North, and Wild Boar preparation plants, while merging the Wild Boar and Somerville South mines to create a more efficient mining complex.

However, Peabody's official job postings for February 2026 indicate the presence of a preparation plant at the Wild Boar site. At the same time, the Coal Age 2025 Prep Plant Census table for Indiana lists Peabody’s preparation plants does not show Wild Boar as a separate preparation plant—suggesting either a difference in methodology/classification or a change in configuration after 2020.

In June 2025, Peabody Wild Boar Mining, LLC submitted an application to the IDEM seeking to reauthorize wetland and stream impacts for the development of the Wild Boar Stanley Pit coal mine. The project involves coal extraction and related infrastructure projected to occur between 2027 and 2034.
