Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. » Environmental Stewardship

Environmental Stewardship

From planning and permitting to full production and beyond, we are committed to protecting the habitats and environment around our operations. All Alliance mining facilities use either the room-and-pillar or longwall underground mining technique as the primary extraction method.

As a steward of natural resources, Alliance strives to promote the well-being of its employees and the communities in which it operates. Alliance works diligently to protect and improve the lands around its operating sites.
