The Forest Service bases postmining land use information on the applicable land management plan. The OSMRE's procedures and standards for coal mine permitting are found in 30 CFR Part 700. More information can be found on the OSMRE's coal mining regulatory program website, and .
The range of appliions in both surface and underground mining is extensive. Appliions include coal seam mapping and geological fault detection, lithological mapping, geotechnical evaluation, assessment of the rock mass response to mining, detection of voids, loion of trapped miners and guidance of drills and mining equipment.

· About one quarter of the coal produced in Australia is by underground mining methods. The most commonly used underground coal mining methods in Australia are longwall, and room and pillar. This paper provides a detailed review of the two methods, including their advantages and disadvantages, the major geotechnical and operational issues, and the factors that need to be .
Water quality at four coal mines in southern New Zealand can be related directly or indirectly to the geology and mineralogy of the stratigraphic sequence in which the coal mines occur. The Late Cretaceous Taratu Formation of the Kaitangata coalfield formed in a marginal marine setting during regional marine transgression, and marine incursions punctuated coal formation.
Mining. Coal is mined by both surface or 'opencut' (or opencast) and underground or 'deep' mining methods, depending on the local geology of the deposit. Underground mining currently accounts for about 60 per cent of world coal production but around 80 per cent of Australia's coal is produced from opencut mines.
· Coal Miner West ia Stock Photos Coal Miner West . A coal miner washes his boots after ending his shift inside the Gateway Eagle Mine, an United Mine Workers mine in Pond Fork, Boone County, in southern West ia, March 13, 2016.
The Only Integrated, Endtoend Geology and Mine Planning Solution for Coal and other Stratified Deposits. GEOVIA Minex™ is the recognized world leader of integrated geology and mine planning solutions for coal and other stratified deposits. Minex ensures resources are evaluated accurately and mined efficiently from exploration to rehabilitation.
Reducing coal loss and dilution in our mines is a growing focus in mining efficiency and maximising resource value. Blast damage to coal roof is a significant cause of coal loss and dilution in mines across the world. Typically, when a Geologist is modelling a coal roof surface, touch coal records from production drillers are used to support existing exploration data.
Indiana is currently the sixth largest coalproducing state in the United States, and it has a long history of coal mining. Largescale mining has been conducted by both underground and surface methods. Both of these methods necessarily involve the movement of large volumes of earth materials, including bedrock, unconsolidated surficial deposits, and soils.
The bedding planes are the most continuous of the geological structures in the strata and typically exhibit persistence on the order of hundreds of meters. In general the bedding at the mine dips to the west and southwest at inclinations of 10º to 30º. The aggregate thickness of the coal seams in the active mining area is about 60 m.

· A map of the Wilpinjong coal mining area. The Wilpinjong coal mine is loed in New South Wales, Australia, approximately 40km northeast of Mudgee and ten kilometres southeast of the Ulan mine. Spread over 2,800ha, the mine began operations in late 2006. It is owned by Peabody Energy, which acquired the property from Excel Coal in late 2006.
Masama coal project loion and geology. The Masama coal mine occupies 120km² on the southwestern edge of the Mmambula coalfield, which is spread over 420km² and is divided into three blocks, namely the West, Central, and East blocks. Masama coal mine forms part of the West block of the Mmambula coalfield.
Effects of coal mining on water quality in the more arid western half of the United States are more difficult to detect because of the high degree of mineralization of natural water. Normal background concentrations of constituents are not useful in evaluating effects of coal mine drainage on streams in the more arid West.
COAL_UND, the predecessor of COAL_MINE_UNDERGROUND_IN, is a polygonbased ESRI ArcView shapefile that shows the loion and extent of underground coal mines in the coal region of westcentral and southwestern Indiana. COAL_UND includes loions for all documented underground mines that operated in Indiana since the late 1800s. COAL_MINE_UNDERGROUND_IN is attributed to allow the .
· Although the United States has the vast coal resource described in the previous chapter, perhaps as much as 4 trillion tons, the key issue for policy makers is the amount of coal that is economically is not a fixed quantity, but depends on the geological resource, the market price, and the cost of mining. The particular characteristics of the coal mining industry create .
(SMCRA) to ameliorate adverse effects of past coal mining and to regulate subsequent coal mining. SMCRA provided for a tax on active coal mines at a rate of 35 cents/ton for surface mines, 15 cents/ton for underground mines (or 10 percent of the value at the mine), and 10 cents/ton for lignite mines (or 2 percent of the value at the mine). The ...

The mining risk to geological environment is from the mine's geological conditions, mining status and geoenvironmental problems related to mining. Nine factors are considered in the risk assessment: landform, vegetation cover, engineering petrofabric, mine density, coal tilt angle, the ratio of mining depth and thickness of coal seam, land resources damage, water resources damage and ...
