{{#Badges: CoalSwarm}} Willow Lake Mine is an underground operation in Saline County north of Equality in Southern Illinois, owned by Peabody Energy. The mine first shipped coal in 2002. In 2008, the mine sold 3.7 million tons of coal to Midwest utility customers, primarily shipped by barge to downriver utility plants.[1]
The mine operates year round, seven days a week, with two production shifts per day. Coal is transported to the preparation plant via overland conveyor belt and radial stacker. The Willow Lake Preparation Plant is a 1,400 raw-ton-per-hour heavy media plant, and washes coal for the Willow Lake Mine and Peabody's Wildcat Hills Complex. Washed coal is primarily shipped by barge down the Ohio River to the mine's customers.[1]
The hourly workforce at the Willow Lake Mine is represented under an International Brotherhood of Boilermakers labor agreement, which will expire April 15, 2011.[2]
