One of the most difficult, longstanding engineering problems associated with coal mining is the catastrophic failure of cog mine structures known as bumps. For more than 70 years, researchers and practitioners have assembled a wealth of technical information on coal bumps in an attempt to understand and control them.

Under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA), coal mine operators are required to post full financial assurance that the mine site will be remediated to environmental performance standards. If a coal mine operator abandons a site without fully

Surface coal mine remediation presents an excellent opportunity to improve both the environment of the coalfields and the health in communities surrounded by coal mines and downstream of polluted mining water discharges. By utilizing a community health impacts

Coal mining generates significant additional independent adverse environmental health impacts, among them the polluted water flowing from mountaintop removal mining. REHABILITATING LAND AFTER COAL MINING: Each soil condition polluted by an excess of coal dust will vary and necessitate an individual approach in terms of remediation quantum.

Managing Coal Mine Closure: Achieving a Just Transition for All 8 Managing Coal Mine Closure: Achieving a Just Transition for All 9 Executive Summary 1 Over the last half century, large-scale changes to coal1 industries across Europe, and more recently in the United States and China, have resulted in as many as 4 million coal workers losing ...

The Remediation Technologies Screening Matrix The remediation technologies screening matrix is a user-friendly tool to screen for technologies for a remediation project. The matrix allows you to screen through 64 in situ and ex situ technologies for either soil or groundwater remediation.

Reclamation processes. As part of the life cycle of a surface coal mine, completed mine areas must undergo rehabilitation.When mining ends, operators must restore the land to its approximate original contour (AOC) or leave the land graded and suitable for a "higher and better" post-mining land use (PMLU) that has been approved as part of the original mining permit …

Environmental problems of surface coal mining and restoration of the mine sites are discussed in the re­ port. Particular attention is given to Eastern Europe, which continues to be a major centre of opencast lignite mining. Reclamation of mined lands for …

The waters contain a variety of contaminants, including naphtenic acids, polycyclic aromatic compounds and toxic trace metals. As for mountaintop coal mining in Appalachia, remediation is required, while reclamation, rather than restoration, is the most feasible course of action for dealing with the land disturbances.

Remediation is the process of removing contaminants from sites that have been polluted from industrial, manufacturing, mining, and commercial activities. Remediation involves an all-encompassing step process of land restoration …

Typically, pillars of coal were left in place to hold up the roof of the mine. Once the mine was abandoned these shallow mine workings have the potential to collapse at any time. If this occurs under or near a structure it can cause mining induced subsidence of sufficient magnitude to require complete demolition of the structure.
