As the nation's second largest coal producer, Arch Coal supplies approximately one-tenth of America's total coal supply. The vast majority of this coal is sold to U.S. utilities, which use coal to generate electricity. With roughly 120 million tons of production annually, Arch's mines provide the fuel for approximately 6% of the electricity used by Americans each year. Arch controls a vast domestic reserve base totaling 3.5 billion tons, 90% of which is low in sulfur and 66% of which meets the Phase II requirements of the Clean Air Act. The company operates mining complexes in six states and three major coal-producing basins. In 1999, Arch shipped its products to 140 power plants operated by 68 utilities in 30 states. In addition, Arch exported coal to utility and industrial customers in 10 foreign countries.One of Arch Coal's highest priorities is to operate safe and environmentally responsible mines. During the past five years, Arch and its subsidiary operations have amassed dozens of national and state awards for excellence in safety performance and reclaiming the land after mining is completed.
