Consol’s vice president for the Southern Appalachian region, Eustace Frederick, says about 250 to 300 Consolidation Coal Company workers will be recalled or hired in 1984 to mine high grade metallurgical coal as steel markets improve. He notes expected annual market growth of 1–2 percent after 1984 and cites regulatory costs as a major West Virginia mining drag, citing the Eckman mine as an example of overregulation reducing profits and jobs. He adds metallurgical coal remains essential globally despite steam coal growth.
