• Ohio la Included with the Eastern Interior rather than the Northern Appalachian Basin, which la normally the case, because of
the higher sulfur content of Ohio's coal reserves. The Importance of coal sulfur content makes this factor an Important
consideration In any regional grouping considered for this report.
•* These reserves only Include bituminous coal and anthracite In beds 42 Inches or more thick, subbltumlnoua coal and lignite In
beds 10 feed or more thick, and only coal which Is generally less than 1,000 feet from the surface.

Tj The larger number on each line refers to known resources. This Includes both known recoverable reserves and known marginal and submarglnal
resources. It does not Include estimates of undiscovered resources.
37 The smaller number on each line is the Mitre estimate of known recoverable reserves alone; that which can be recovered with present technology
and current prices.
4/ Eastern Interior Is corrected. Mitre figures are based on J.A. DeCarlo, et_ al., Sulfur Content of United States Coals, Bureau of Mines,
1C 8312 (1966), Table A-l, p.19. This was altered by a revision for the Illinois data in which the reserve estimates for low sulfur coal
were modified. See U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Control Techniques for Sulfur Oxide Air Pollutants, NAPCA No. AP-52
(January 1969), table 4-2, pp. A-ll.
51 Excluding Alaska.
Regions: Northern Appalachia is defined as Pennsylvania, the northern part of West Virginia and Maryland. The southern Appalachian region is
composed of eastern Kentucky, the southern part of West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia and Alabama. The eastern Interior region is made
up of Illinois, Indiana, western Kentucky, and Ohio. The western Interior region is composed of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Arkansas and Texas. The northern Rocky Mountains region is made up of North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. The southern
Rocky Mountains region comprises Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Finally, the West Coast includes Washington, Oregon and
California; it excludes Alaska.

(1) To avoid the rounded range gaps found in DeCarlo and succeeding publications
(i.e., 1.0-1.1), differences have been halved to eliminate the gap. Figures
in parentheses are the mid-point of the ranges with the exception of the
first (0.65) which was assumed for computational purposes. In the body of
the table, figures in the parentheses refer to the implied average sulfur
level of the tonnages in each class.
(2) Weighted average of 21,370 known reserves and 2,780 known recoverable
reserves at 1.08 percent plus 23,050 known reserves and 2,995 known recoverable
reserves at 1.50 percent.
(3) Weighted average of 18,135 known reserves and 1,995 known recoverable reserves
at 1.08 percent plus 9,890 known reserves and 1,090 known recoverable reserves
at 1.50 percent.
(4) Weighted average of 3,780 known reserves and 340 known recoverable reserves
at 0.76 percent plus 585 known reserves and 50 known recoverable reserves
at 1.05 percent.
(5) Weighted average of 344,620 known reserves and 37,905 known recoverable
reserves at 1.08 percent plus 61,385 known reserves and 6,750 known
recoverable reserves at 1.5 percent.

1) The above estimates assume recovery of 40 percent of the underground, and 70 percent
the surface, reserve base (measured and indicated deposits within 1000 feet of the
surface with seam thickness of at least 28 inches for bituminous and anthracite and
at least .60 inches for sub-bituminous and lignite).
2) Northern Plains reserves shown are strippable only - deeper reserves are excluded.
3) No more than 1.2 pounds sulfur dioxide per million BTy.
4) 1.21 - 3.20 pounds S02 per million BTU.

1The standard thickness divisions are 14-28, 28-42, and >42 inches for bituminous coal and anthracite, and
30-60, 60-120, and >120 inches for subbitumlnous coal and lignite.
sThe standard depth divisions are 0-1,000, 1,000-2,000, and 2,000-3,000 feet.
3Potential refers to coal under a 400 square-mile are estimated from one or more measurements.
*Depth-thickness criteria are 16 Inches at 100 feet, 18 inches at 150 feet, 22 inches at 200 feet, 32 inches
at 600 feet, and 36 inches at 1,200 feet.
5Data for anthracite and bituminous coal are also reported on an inferred rone basis with various thickness
divisions and depth divisions of 1,000-2,000 or 0-3,000 feet.
BDepth Is not always reported, and sone divisions are 0-2,000 or 0-3,000 feet.
