Background

The Ebensburg Generating Plant gets all of its waste coal from the RES Mine 33, a nearby metallurgical coal mine owned by the same company. Since commercial operations began in 1991 the Ebensburg Generating Plant has consumed over 11 million tons of waste coal from abandoned mine sites that dot the Pennsylvania landscape.
