Small Surface Coal Mine Operators Handbook.pdf
Taken from USE OF HANDBOOK: The best way to use this handbook is to look directly at the drawing in Chapter 4 which describe various surface mining methods and the operations which involved in each. The first drawing for each method show an unregulated mine, and the key below identifies problems which arise during and after mining and the Sections of the Regulations which are intended to solve these problems. The next drawing for each method shows phases of a mine which meet the requirements of the new Regulations. The key below identifies each operation, the Section of the Regulations relevant to that operation and the title and number of “Data Sheets.” These data sheets make uo Chapters 6 and 7 of the Handbook and contain guidelines for measures necessary to meet the Performance Standards of the Regulations.
Chapter 5 is very important. It contains information on premining surveys and planning. Careful pre-planning of mine operations is critical if the requirements of the Regulations are to be meet, (particularly the need for contemporaneous reclamation) at a reasonable cost. Failure to preplan will inevitably result in non-compliance notices, double handling of overburden and other time and money wasting problems.
Many of measures which are described on the data sheets are required as part of the Performance Standards contained in the Regulations, most of which are included in Part 816, Chapter VII, Subchapter K, though Performance Standards for specific categories of mining mountain top removal, steep slopes, prime farmlands and auger mining, are found in Parts 824,826,823 and 819 respectively.
The Effectiveness of some of the measures in this handbook have not actually benn established. The lack of experiments which monitored the impact of various mining methods and protection measures is a serious problem. EPA is at a present sponsoring a study in Kentucky to monitor the effectiveness of the Modified Block Cut Method of surface mining in the controlling sediment. The assumed advantages of the Modified Block Cut Method (no spoil on the down slop, complete elimination of the highwall, 60% less acres disturbed, minimization of double handling,etc.) and the disadvantages (scheduling complications, higher capital requirement for equipment, etc.) will be quantified. The study will also monitor water quality and quantity to satisfy a need to quantify the effectiveness of the method itself in reducing sedimentation (DNR, Kentucky 1977).
Costs of measures in this handbook have not been included. The Regulation require that the reclamation plan (requirement for Permit Application) include a cost estimate [780.18(b)(2)]. Costs, however, are mostly so site-specific that general cost guidelines are of doubtful value. Only where realistic costs can be given they been included.
The operator will find little information on costs in published sources as most refer to operation which do not conform to the new performance standards. It was also noted by Davis in 1977 that often, costs vary widely due to differences in the procedure used to estimated costs. He suggested that reclamation costs were approximately 10% of gross revenue,5%-8% of the $11-$22 a ton cost of production or 30% of the cost of coal production (4). Some 1974 costs are also given by Doyle (et.al.) in a report in which he analyzes pollution control costs (6).
The small operator should understand his true unit costs and break-event stripping ratios in order to stay solvent, particularly in a time of rapidly shifting costs and sales prices of coal. The authors of his handbook realize that the small mine operator has to work within a tight profit margin in a high risk, high front-end capital undertaking. This handbook advocates self reliance in premining planning for cost-effective reclamation meeting the requirements of Act.
