Background
Remining no. 3 or Remining # 3 is a surface mine in Mingo County, West Virginia.[2] In December 2011, Rhino Resource Partners LP, a metallurgical and thermal coal producer, announced that the development in its new Remining 3 surface mine at its Tug River complex was nearing completion, with a projected production of 375 thousand tons a year.[3] The mine started operating in the first quarter of 2012 through its subsidiary CAM Mining LLC, and produced 143 thousand tons in 2013 while employing 8 workers.[2]
In June 2015, the company filed a workers layoff/closure report with Kentucky's Office of Employment and Training and issued WARN notices to its workers at several of its mines including Remining 3. In the report, it said that CAM mining was was idling its operations due to adverse market conditions.[4] The MSHA database indicates that, Remining 3's slowed down and stopped production during late 2015, early 2016 but the mine became fully operational once again in the last quarter of 2016.[2]
David Zatezalo, the president of Rhino Resource Partners, became President Trump's pick to run MSHA after his retirement in 2014. During his tenure, Rhino had a series of mine health and safety violations.[5]
In 2020, Rhino Resource Partners declared bankruptcy[5], and the mine was acquired by the Appalachian Resource Company LLC, which operates it through its subsidiary Appalachian Resource West Virginia, LLC.[2]
In 2020 the mine produced 140 thousand tons and had 36 employees. This was a stark decline from its 2019 production, which stood at almost half a million tons with over 70 employees.[2]
