The list of debts shows $800,000 due CONSOL. This is probably for around 30,000 tons of Blacksville coal. Longview might be using outside coal because of conveyor problems and/or because they need a better grade, in this case better combustion and less mineral matter (ash). Could even be a trial usage of a substitute coal?
Pittsburgh seam coal is a bit higher in sulfer than what comes out of 4 West, and is primarily a met coal. Consol was shipping a lot of this overseas. Mepco was processing mine water from the Humphrey mine at its Steele Shaft plant, part of its musical mine water scheme, and dumping the TDS laden exidute into Dunkard Creek. I don't know how this would be billed. Could Consol be accepting Longview waste into its Blacksville borehole?
