Belle Ayr Mine

The Belle Ayr mine is a coal mine located 18 miles southeast of Gillette, Wyoming in the United States in the coal-rich Powder River Basin. The mine is an open pit, "truck and shovel", mine producing a low-sulfur, sub-bituminous coal from the Wyodak-Anderson seam that is used for domestic energy generation. Coal produced by the mine is shipped to its customers via railroad. The mine is owned and operated by Eagle Specialty Materials LLC after being acquired from Blackjewel LLC in 2019. As of 2009, Belle Ayr had reserves of 406 mm tons of sub-bituminous coal and a maximum permitted production capacity of 45mm tons per year. Typical annual production has been in 26-28mm ton range for the last several years though. The average quality of the coal shipped from Belle Ayr is 8,550 BTU/lb, 0.33% Sulfur, 4.50% Ash, and 1.90% Sodium (of the ash). Train loading operations at the mine are done with a batch weigh bin system that is coupled to a "weigh-in-motion" track scale system. Silo capacity at the mine's rail loop, which can accommodate up to 5 unit trains, is 46,000 tons. In 2008, the mine produced just over 28.7 million short tons of coal, making it the 7th-most productive coal mine in the United States. In 2022, this had halved to just over 14.2 million short tons. However, this still made it the 6th-most productive coal mine in the US that year. History The Belle Ayr Mine began operations in 1972 and is the oldest, non-captive mine in the Powder River Basin. Since mining operations began, the mine has shipped over 574 million tons of coal to its customers. The Belle Ayr mine has changed hands many times through mergers and sales. Previous owners include AMAX, Cyprus AMAX, RAG, and Foundation Coal. In 2007, Belle Ayr was awarded a Director's Award from the Office of Surface Mining for its restoration work on Caballo Creek, which winds its way through the Belle Ayr Mine property. On July 1, 2019, CEO Jeffery Hoop announced that Blackjewel LLC, the operator of Belle Ayr had filed for bankruptcy and closed the mine. According to the Casper Star-Tribune, court documents show that Blackjewel owes $500 million in liabilities, including $6 million to employees. This was after Blackjewel was denied $20 million in financing by the United Bank of West Virginia. Production References

Talsperre Glendo

Die Talsperre Glendo (englisch Glendo Dam) ist eine Talsperre mit Wasserkraftwerk im Platte County, Bundesstaat Wyoming, USA. Sie staut den North Platte River zu einem Stausee (englisch Glendo Reservoir) auf. Die Talsperre befindet sich ca. 7 km (4,5 miles) südöstlich der Stadt Glendo. Die Talsperre und der Stausee liegen im Glendo State Park. Ungefähr 40 km (25 miles) flussabwärts befindet sich die Talsperre Guernsey. Die Talsperre ist im Besitz des United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) und wird auch vom USBR betrieben. Geschichte Mit vorläufigen Untersuchungen zur Errichtung eines Staudamms bei Glendo wurde 1944 begonnen. Die unterschiedlichen Interessen der Bundesstaaten Colorado, Nebraska und Wyoming in Bezug auf Wasserrechte und die Nutzung des Wassers verzögerten aber den Baubeginn bis 1954. Mit dem Bau der Talsperre wurde dann im Dezember 1954 begonnen. Sie wurde im Herbst 1957 fertiggestellt. Mit dem Einstau wurde im Oktober 1957 begonnen. Der Bau des zugehörigen Wasserkraftwerks wurde 1958 abgeschlossen. Absperrbauwerk Das Absperrbauwerk ist ein Erdschüttdamm mit einer Höhe von 58 m (190 ft) über der Gründungssohle. Die Dammkrone liegt auf einer Höhe von 1425 m (4675 ft) über dem Meeresspiegel. Die Länge der Dammkrone beträgt 639 m (2096 ft). Die Breite des Staudamms beträgt an der Krone 10,6 m (35 ft). Der Staudamm verfügt sowohl über einen Grundablass als auch über eine Hochwasserentlastung. Die Hochwasserentlastung befindet sich auf der rechten Seite des Damms. Über den Grundablass können maximal 368 m³/s (13.000 cft/s) abgeleitet werden, über die Hochwasserentlastung maximal 292 m³/s (10.335 cft/s). Stausee Bei einem Stauziel von 1418 m (4653 ft) erstreckt sich der Stausee über eine Fläche von rund 72,78 km² (17.986 acres) und fasst 941 Mio. m³ (763.039 acre-feet) Wasser. Der Stausee erstreckt sich dabei über eine Länge von rund 46 km (28,7 miles); seine maximale Breite beträgt 1,6 km (1 mile). Kraftwerk Das Kraftwerk befindet sich ca. 1,2 km (4000 ft) von der Talsperre entfernt auf der rechten Flussseite. Seine installierte Leistung beträgt 38 MW. Die installierte Leistung lag ursprünglich bei 24 MW. Von 1980 bis 1984 wurde eine Leistungssteigerung durchgeführt; dabei wurden die Turbinen und Generatorwicklungen ausgetauscht. Die durchschnittliche Jahreserzeugung liegt bei rund 55,6 Mio. kWh. Die zwei Francis-Turbinen des Kraftwerks leisten jede maximal 19 MW. Die Fallhöhe beträgt 30,5 m (100 ft).

Bishop House (Casper, Wyoming)

The Bishop House in Casper, Wyoming was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. Description The Bishop House is a 2+1⁄2-story foursquare house in Casper, Wyoming. It was built in 1907 in the Colonial Revival style and features a widow's walk. The home's red exterior bricks were shipped from Denver. A full porch, supported by four Tuscan columns, extends across the front of the house. History The Bishop House was the first multi-storied brick home in Casper, Wyoming. Built in the city's Capitol Hill addition, the home was constructed for Marvin Lord Bishop, Sr., and was based on his childhood home in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Its architect was Elias N. Miller of Denver, and its builder was William T. Evans, for whom Evansville, Wyoming is named. After M. L. Bishop died in 1939, his wife, Leona, continued to live in the residence until her death in 1948. Their youngest daughter, Lucile L. Bishop, lived in the Bishop House from 1908 to her death in 1997. In 2001, the structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home is now owned by the Cadoma Foundation and used for community events.

Black Pool

Black Pool is a hot spring in the West Thumb Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. The pool was cool enough up until 1991 for dark orange-brown cyanobacteria to grow throughout the pool. When combined with the blue of the water, the pool appeared to be an exceptionally dark green to almost black, hence the name. An exchange of function took place in 1991, shifting thermal energy to Black Pool and nearby Abyss Pool, causing them to heat up. Black Pool's temperature became hot enough to kill all the cyanobacteria in the pool, turning the pool a rich teal blue color. The pool also had frequent boiling eruptions on August 15, 1991, doming the water to 3 feet and causing heavy runoff. Black Pool remains extremely hot, and is now one of Yellowstone's most vibrant blue pools. The name of the pool remains "Black Pool." References
Black Pool

Black Pool est une source chaude située dans le West Thumb Geyser Basin dans le parc national de Yellowstone aux États-Unis. Elle était assez froide jusqu'en 1991 pour que des cyanobactéries orange foncé-marron puissent y vivre. Cette couleur, combinée avec l'eau bleue, lui donne une couleur vert foncé voire quasiment noir, d'où le nom. Le déplacement de l'énergie thermique en 1991 vers Black Pool et Abyss Pool, située à proximité, a entraîné une augmentation de la température. La température de Black Pool devient assez élevée pour tuer toutes les cyanobactéries présentes dans la source, devenant ainsi bleu turquoise. Black Pool a souvent fait des éruptions d'ébullition le 15 août 1991, faisant jaillir l'eau à 90 centimètres et entraînant de gros ruissellements. Black Pool reste extrêmement chaude, et est aujourd'hui, avec Abyss Pool, l'une des plus belles sources et l'une des sources les plus bleues de Yellowstone. Malgré son changement de couleur, son nom reste Black Pool.

Riddle Lake

Der Riddle Lake ist ein kleiner See im Yellowstone-Nationalpark, südwestlich des Yellowstone-Lake. Er besitzt keine größeren Zuflüsse, die Ufer sind teilweise bewaldet, teilweise sumpfig und insgesamt sehr flach. Besonders im Westteil liegen ausgedehnte Übergangszonen zwischen Wiesen, Sumpf und flachen Teilen des Sees. Die den See umgebende Landschaft weist keine großen Höhenunterschiede auf, die Vegetation ist eine Mischung aus Wiesen und Wäldern unterschiedlicher Altersstufen. Im See kommt unter anderem die Yellowstone-Cutthroat-Forelle vor. Der See ist nur zu Fuß über einen Wanderweg von der Hauptstraße durch den Park aus zugänglich. Der See ist leicht oval, seine Länge beträgt rund 1,1 km, die Breite maximal 0,8 km und die Fläche ungefähr 0,7 km². Seinen Namen erhielt er wohl 1872 im Rahmen der Nachbearbeitung des Materials der Hayden-Expedition. Der Name soll darauf zurückgehen, dass der See aufgrund seiner Lage in unmittelbarer Nähe der kontinentalen Wasserscheide seinen Entdeckern das Rätsel (engl.: riddle) aufgab, in welchen Ozean er entwässern würde. Der Abfluss des Sees in den Yellowstone Lake wurde erst 1878 entdeckt und erhielt den Namen Solution Creek, da er die Lösung (engl.: solution) des Rätsels darstellte.

Emerald Pool (Yellowstone National Park)

Emerald Pool, a hot spring named for its emerald green color, is one of the main attractions at Black Sand Basin Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park. Its temperature is 154.6 °F (68.1 °C) and its dimensions are 27 by 38 feet (8.2 by 11.6 m) with a depth of 25 feet (7.6 m). The color is due to growth of yellow bacteria and algae. Cooling, the result of objects thrown into the pool and natural debris, has affected the growth of the bacteria and algae, making the pool appear orange and brown around the edges.

Buffalo Bill Boyhood Home

The Buffalo Bill Boyhood Home was built by Isaac Cody, the father of Buffalo Bill Cody in 1841 at LeClaire, Iowa. The house was purchased as a tourist attraction by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and was moved to Cody, Wyoming, Buffalo Bill's adopted hometown, in 1933. The house was placed at the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy's Cody station to provide an attraction for tourists stopping in Cody on their way to or from Yellowstone National Park. Of necessity, groups had to spend the night at Cody, in the railroad's Burlington Inn next to the station, about two miles from town. The house was meant to provide the travelers with a diversion that would not require a trip into town. By 1947 the rail tour business was declining and the Burlington Inn was to be demolished. The Cody House was given to the Buffalo Bill Memorial Association and moved to its final location at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody. The house was again moved in 1969 when the museum moved into the Buffalo Bill Historical Center across the street from the old museum. The house is the oldest structure in the town of Cody, and may be the oldest building in Wyoming. The two-story frame house has two rooms downstairs and two upstairs. A lean-to kitchen addition to the rear did not make the journey from Iowa to Wyoming. The house is constructed of sawn lumber with larger hand-hewn timbers. The Cody House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. References External links Buffalo Bill Boyhood Home at the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office
Bull Lake Glacier

Der Bull Lake Glacier ist ein Gletscher in der nördlichen Wind River Range im Westen des US-Bundesstaates Wyoming. Er liegt in einem Kar unmittelbar nordöstlich der kontinentalen Wasserscheide am Hauptkamm der Gebirgskette auf ca. 3750 m Höhe unterhalb von Fremont Peak im Westen und Jackson Peak im Süden. Der Gletscher befindet sich innerhalb der Fitzpatrick Wilderness des Shoshone National Forest und liegt unmittelbar südlich des Lower Fremont Glacier, von dem er durch eine Moräne getrennt ist. Nordwestlich oberhalb des Bull Lake Glacier liegt, durch eine Felsklippe getrennt, der Upper Fremont Glacier. Die drei Gletscher entwässern, wie auch der südöstlich des Bull Lake Glacier gelegene Knife Point Glacier, über einen namenlosen Bach in den North Fork Bull Lake Creek und über den Bull Lake Creek in den Wind River. Zusammen mit einigen umliegenden Gletschern, die sich östlich und westlich des Hauptkamms der Wind River Range verteilen, bildet der Bull Lake Glacier die größte Ansammlung von Gletschern in den US-amerikanischen Rocky Mountains.
