Decker Coal Mine Powder River

Mining activities at the Ambre Energy Decker Coal Mine near the Tongue River Reservoir in the Powder River Basin. Ambre is seeking to expand coal mining operations on public land as part of its controversial proposals to export coal through Oregon and Washington. Greenpeace is calling on Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to stop selling publicly owned coal at subsidized prices and for the governments of Oregon and Washington to deny permits for export facilities on the Columbia River. Ambre says the mine produces approximately 3 million metric tons of coal each year.
