Dear Colleague:
EPA Region VIII is pleased to make the enclosed report on coal mining
available to you. The report discusses and summarizes the current and
projected mining activity for the five coal producing states (Colorado,
Montana, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming) in our Region. Data are presented
for both surface and underground mining. Information is also presented on
mine location, mine ownership, and market destination. It should be noted
that most of this information was collected during early 1978. Therefore,
the data do not reflect recent mining plans.
Coal production in the Region is expected to increase from the 1977
level of 104 million tons to about 328 million tons in 1987. Mining plans
which must be considered as extremely speculative at this time if developed
could increase the late 1980's figure to as much as 500 million tons. Coal
produced from surface mining contributed 87 percent of the 1977 production
in the Region and is projected to account for 86 percent of the "firm"
1987 production. The 1977 total of 74 mines is expected to reach 134 ("firm")
to 215 ("speculative") by the late 1980's.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this publication, please
feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Terry L. Thoem

INTRODUCTION
This report provides a summary of existing and proposed surface
and underground coal mines on a State-by-State basis for the five
coal-producing states (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, Utah and
Wyoming) of EPA Region VIII.
With regard to "existing" mines, the summary includes surface
and underground coal mines with a 1977 production rate of 25,000 tons
or more. The "proposed" mine category has been divided into two
subcategories. The "planned" subcategory includes coal mining operations
which have been addressed in an application to a State reclamation
authority or included in and Environmental Impact Statement. The second
subcategory of proposed coal mines had been termed "speculative" due to
the fact that although many proposed coal mining operations have been
identified, applications covering many of these operations have not been
submitted to State reclamation authorities nor have they been addressed
in Environmental Impact Statements.
It should be noted that the majority of information included in this
summary report was collected during the Summer of 1978. Therefore, the
information presented may not reflect recent mine start-ups, recent
submittals of mining applications, or recent Environmental Impact Statements.
Chapter 1 provides tables which summarize regional coal production.
Table 1 indicates 1977 coal production by State and divides this production
into that derived from surface mining and that resulting from underground
mining. Total coal production in 1977 in EPA Region VIII was 104,389,805
tons. Table 1 also shows that surface mines contributed 90,702,165 tons
(or about 87%) of this production while underground mines contributed
13,687,640 tons (or about 13%). Table 2 provides an estimate of expanded
coal production by State if "planned" development by about 1987 is also
considered. As indicated in this table, total region production is estimated
to increase to 327,941,861 tons(i.e., over a three-fold increase) as compared
to 1977 production. Table 3 shows estimated regional coal production by
State if both "planned" and "speculative" development are considered. As
shown in Table 3, total coal production with this level of coal development
would be projected to reach 501,171,861 tons (or almost a five-fold increase
as compared to existing production in 1977). Projects included in this
latter subcategory should be considered nothing more than in the early
planning phase. The projects may never come into being. Table 4 gives the
number of coal mines in Region VIII by State. As this table indicates, the
number of mines, considering both "planned" and "speculative" development
is expected to reach 215 (as compared to 74 mines existing in 1977).
1.
-------
Chapters 2,3, and 4 of the report provide lists of the "existing",
"planned", and "speculative" coal mines, respectively. Each chapter
contains lists of mines by State. These tables also include information
such as the county in which the mine is located, the mine name, the operator,
the type of mine (i.e., surface or underground), production (with potential
expansion), and the market for the coal (if it could be identified).
Information for these chapters was obtained from numerous sources, which
have been listed in the Sources of Information section of this report.
It is hoped that this summary report will provide assistance in
identifying the extent, location, and type of existing and proposed coal
mining activities in EPA Region VIII. Please direct any inquiries regarding
information contained in this publication to the Office of Energy, EPA
Region VIII (303-837-5914). Your comments on the format, details, and
distribution of this report are welcomed. It is planned to provide annual
or bi-annual updates of this document.
