NOTES ON INFORMATION IN COUNTY COAL PROFILES
All production and employment data are from individual state
reports for 1976 (see pp. 105-6 in main report for exact references).
Projections for increased production by 1985 are taken from the
Bureau of Mines Information Circular 8725, Projects to Expand Fuel
Sources in Eastern States (June 1976), not the 1978 update of this
report. We have not subtracted a factor for the depletion of existing
mines. These projections should, thus be viewed as estimates on the
high side.
All Illinois coal land ownership data are taken from the study of
the Illinois South Project, Who's Mining the Farm. The Kentucky land
ownership data on Harlan and Perry Counties are from a special study
by Joe F. Childers, Jr. of the Appalachian Center. The West Virginia
land ownership data are from Tom Miller, Who Owns West Virginia?, and
Davitt McAteer, Coal Mine Health and Safety: The Case of West Virginia.
For permission to use copyrighted material, we wish to thank The
Illinois South Project, Inc.; The Huntington Publishing Company; and
Holt, Rinehart and Winston.
No county breakdowns on producing companies are available for
Virginia for 1976 or previous years. Such information may be available
beginning with the 1978 Annual Report of the Virginia Department of
Labor and Industry.
