Details
The coal mining development risk plan shows the boundaries of high risk (dark-hatched) and lower risk (lighter-hatched) coalfield areas. This information helps determine the need to submit a coal mining risk assessment for a site.
The coal mining specific risk plan identifies 8 specific coal mining risks:
- mine entries with potential zone of influence
- past surface hazards
- past shallow coal mine workings
- mine gas
- probable shallow coal mine workings
- geological features (fissures and break lines)
- workable coal seam outcrops
- surface (opencast) mining
The surface coal resource plan shows the areas of surface coal resources where extraction of the coal can be carried out by surface mining methods.
