'The Georgetown Prepatation Plant is here viewed from the north, showing the main entrance. Landscaping has begun and the company will build a sizable parking lot in front of the plant with auxiliary lots near the scale house (off the picture to the left) and at the track level in the rear. The enclosed raw coal conveyor and the refuse loading bin are shown at the right. This plant will serve as a central preparation facility for the strip mining and some of the underground mining operations of the Hanna Coal Company, Ohio operating division of Pittsburgh Coal Company. With a capacity of 1,500 tons of raw coal input per hour, Georgetown is the largest coal cleaning plant in the commerical bituminous industry. It has three cleaning circuits and five types of facilities for drying the coal. Integrated with the plant operation are special systems for cleaning and recirculating the water, thereby avoiding stream pollution, and for elimination of air pollution.'
