phism due to the depth of burial advanced the coal ranks to the rank of medium-volatile bituminous coal; further advancement through the medium-volatile coal rank required additional pressures and temperatures that resulted from local and regional folding.

A. Abutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled packs behind the face.

Another advanced coal technology is coal gasification, a process in which coal is converted to a gas (called syngas) before it is burned, making it easier to separate CO2 as a relatively pure gas before power is generated. Alternatively, it is possible to burn coal in oxygen instead of air (as is currently done) in order to reduce the amount of flue gas—essentially exhaust—that must be processed to isolate CO2.

When the 1969 Coal Mine Health and Safety Act was enacted, U.S. coal production was about 600 million tons with about 60 percent underground mining and 40 percent surface mining. Longwall mining accounted for less than 1 percent of the underground production; room-and-pillar continuous mining accounted for about 50 percent of the underground production.

superior coal deposits (say, thicker deposit seams located closer to the surface) will be able to produce coal at lower cost than will a mine on land with inferior coal deposits (such as narrow deposit seams located at great depth).17 Similarly, a mine located near an industrial or shipping center will have lower production costs than a mine located farther away and subject to higher transportation charges.18

When coal seams are near the surface, it may be economical to extract the coal using o (also referred to as open cast or open pit) mining methods. Strip mining is typically used for coal. Strip mining exposes the coal by the advancement of a moving open pit or strip. The strip is usually drilled.

Coal mining played a supportive role as provider of energy to the growing gold mining industry and indeed, many collieries were historically and are today owned by gold mining companies. To these coal mine owners it was more important to keep the costs of their own energy inputs low, than to profit from coal mining itself4. The coal

phasis is on coal mining. The time to plan for subsidence impacts is well before mining begins, not after surface effects are noticed. Because subsidence due to underground mining may be inevitable, the relevant questions to be asked are how much, when, and where, and what abatement procedures are possible and might be necessary.
