'''Bear Run Mine''' is a proposed coal mine by [[Peabody Energy]]. Peabody plans to open the mine south of Dugger in Sullivan County, Indiana. Bear Run would be the largest surface mine in the eastern U.S. Company officials say they have agreements to supply more than 90 million tons of coal, and they will start surface mining at Bear Run in 2009. Production is expected to be 8 million tons of coal per year. The mine will employ 350 workers. The plant will produce high-BTU, high-sulfur coal for scrubber-equipped generating plants.<ref>[http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewiStockNews/articleid/3159096 "Coal Mines Making a Comeback,"] iStockAnalyst, March 30, 2009.</ref>
