- The Jewett Lignite Mine, located between Houston and Dallas, is a winner of the Texas Parks and Wildlife 2013 Lone Star Land Steward Award. Part of the Texas Westmoreland Coal Company, the 35,000 acre mine is noted for its innovative land reclamation techniques including restoration of native grasses and natural stream functionality. The mine is working to restore bobwhite quail and has protection measures in place for the Interior Least Tern, an endangered species that nests there. The mine is located in Leon, Limestone and Freestone counties. For information about the Lone Star Land Steward Awards, including how to nominate a property, visit www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater...
Congratulations for the reclaimed land! It is a great jod, very relevant
Great video of Coal Mining and Reclamation and being put back into its natural habitat but the picture at the start of the Video is a Marion 8750 walking Dragline electric Powered from a Substation with a Bucket size of 169 Cubic yards with a Boom size of 435 Ft and weighs 8,350 ton and Can be operated from the right side of the Dragline and or operated from the left side of the Dragline visversu and was Designed to remove overburden from a Coal pit after being dinamighted so the Coal Vain can be Mined and taken to a tipple preperation plant and either be Trucked out and or shipped out on Rail.
Think I might move to Texas and run dozer. Run D10s and 11s in bc. And my country is going to crap politically. Anyone know how I could immigrate as an equipment operator?
Yes. Just come on down. Theres plenty of opportunities everywhere. Texas is an oasis of economic strength and really sets its self apart from the waist land (california)
The biggest project i can think of where dozer operators may be needed is in Austin for the Tesla terafactory. Theres plenty of construction happening everywhere though. Pick any place and its probably exploding with business
