More than 90 percent of the 37 million tons of coal shipped on the Lakes last year was mined in a state or province that does not border the waterway. Sixty percent originated 1,150 miles away in the Powder River Basin that runs through Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. West Virginia leads states that mine eastern coal. Pennsylvania is the largest Great Lakes state shipping coal on the waterway. These coal statistics help illustrate the national impact of Great Lakes shipping. See attached for more details. Glen G.
