This was a fun one!

170 yards of dirt out, 175 yards of concrete in, and 100 yards of good clean dirt on top to finish it all off.

No more open pits in the customer's yard! These two shafts were what was left of the booming Zeigler CC #1 coal mine. Originally reclaimed and filled in the early '90s, they had slowly settled over the last three decades as the dirt worked its way down the shafts.

Now, they are officially capped, sealed for good, and safely transformed into a finished piece of Zeigler’s deep mining history. All that’s left is a clean concrete marker topped with a bronze placard detailing all of the mine's information.

Check the whole photo reel for a few photos of the old mine. It's hard to even picture it having been there compared to what it looks like today.
