Charles G. Snavely, Arch Coal’s President of Eastern U.S. Operations, has announced his retirement after a 35-year career in the coal industry. Charles will continue serving Arch in a consultancy role on critical projects that fall outside the scope of the day-to-day operations through 2014.
Gary L. Bennett will succeed Snavely as president of eastern operations. “Gary has been a key member of Arch’s management team for many years, and is very well-prepared for this important role,” said Kenneth D. Cochran, Arch’s senior vice president of operations.
