Mine Life2023
All production from the South Hallsville No. 1 mine is delivered to Southwestern Electric Power Company's Henry W. Pirkey Plant. Southwestern Electric Power Company is a subsidiary of American Electric Power company (AEP).

During 2020, AEP announced its intent to retire the Pirkey Plant in 2023.

The mine end-of-life has been adjusted to March 2023, in order to align with the announced closure of the Pirkey Power Plant. Reclamation is expected to be complete by 2037 at an estimated cost of $104 million.

Summary:

The Sabine Mining Company, whose parent company is North American Coal Corp., operates (long-term contract) the South Hallsville No. 1.

The South Hallsville No. 1 Mine generally produces between 1.5 million and 2.0 million tons of lignite annually.

Located just outside of Hallsville, Sabine Mining Company’s expansion has led to more than 70,000 acres under permit across two northeastern Texas counties. Work was originally confined to Harrison County, but now has spread into Rusk County. Mongeon estimated that the mine’s operations open up roughly 400 acres per year. Lignite harvesting and reclamation efforts occur simultaneously.

The South Hallsville No. 1 Mine - dragline operation with 4 draglines.

Electrical power for the Sabine dragline operating in the South Marshall permit area is provided by Southwestern Electric Power Company. Electrical power for the draglines operating in Sabine's Rusk permit area is provided by Rusk County Electric Co-op.

Komatsu excavators and rigid-frame haul trucks play key roles in the pre-stripping process. Sabine Mining Company recently added the world’s first Tier 4 Final PC2000-11. Equipped with a 19-yard bucket, operators use the new hydraulic excavator to load 150-ton HD1500-5 trucks in seven to eight passes, depending on material.

Once oxidized material is removed, Sabine Mining Company moves its dragline in to take larger bites of earth to quickly uncover the seams – wh ........
