Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 11, 2000, a breakthrough of Martin County Coal Corporation's coal waste impoundment released 250 million gallons of slurry in near Inez, Kentucky. The 72-acre surface impoundment for coal processing waste materials broke through into a nearby underground coal mine. Although the spill caused no loss of human life, environmental damage was significant, and local water supplies were disrupted. This incident prompted Congress to request the National Research Council to examine ways to reduce the potential for similar accidents in the future. This book covers the engineering practices and standards for coal waste impoundments and ways to evaluate, improve, and monitor them; the accuracy of mine maps and ways to improve surveying and mapping of mines; and alternative technologies for coal slurry disposal and utilization. The book contains advice for multiple audiences, including the Mine Safety and Health Administration, the Office of Surface Mining, and other federal agencies; state and local policymakers and regulators; the coal industry and its consultants; and scientists and engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 228 million tons of coal waste were created in mining 650 million tons of coal in the United States during 1976. Disposing of such huge quantities of waste material can cause environmental problems depending on how and where the waste is dumped. Though conditions of most disposal sites were improved, many sites were abandoned and require immediate attention. Coal waste dams, used for disposal in mountainous areas, can be flood hazards when improperly constructed and maintained. In 1972, such a dam burst and released a wall of water into Buffalo Creek, killing 125 people. After this disaster, Congress enacted the National Dam Inspection Act of 1972, but this was never fully implemented because responsibilities were not clearly established. Inspections performed by the Corps of Engineers revealed that, of 687 structures inspected, 230 were dangerous, and 30 of these were critically hazardous. Because the Department of the Interior interpreted the Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 as limiting its authority to regulating active mine property, it has not regulated abandoned sites.
