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.
