Definitions

Surface mine: Surface coal mines are mines that remove part or all of mountaintops to expose buried seams of coal. For more information, see Active Surface Mines.

Underground mine: Underground coal mines are mines at which coal is produced by tunneling into the earth to the coalbed, which is then mined with underground mining equipment and transported to the surface. For more information, see Active Underground Mines.

Non-producing mine: Non-producing coal mines are active mines that are temporarily not producing coal, but not yet considered abandoned per the Mine Safety & Health Administration.

Abandoned mine: Abandoned coal mines are no longer operated to produce coal. For more information, see Abandoned Underground Mines.
