Wyoming is about to get its first new coal mine in decades after an independent regulatory council supported a decision by environmental regulators to grant a mining permit to a coal technology company.
The Casper Star-Tribune reported the decision was made after an agriculture and conservation group had challenged the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality decision to allow a permit to Ramaco Carbon.
The mine will be located approximately eight miles outside Sheridan.
