Fill Construction and Surface Coal Mining March 01, 2010 Surface coal mining techniques, which account for the majority of national coal production and roughly 38 percent of West ia''s coal production, involve the mechanical removal of overlying native earth and rock or "overburden" to reach underlying coal seams.
There are two types of coal mines, surface and underground, currently producing coal in Colorado. A surface mine removes coal from excavated surface pits. The mining sequence includes vegetation removal, topsoil removal and storage, overburden removal, and coal extraction. After coal is removed, open pits are backfilled and regraded to approximate original contour, topsoil
Overburden at a coal mining site. In mining, overburden (also called waste or spoil) is the material that lies above an area that lends itself to economical exploitation, such as the rock, soil, and ecosystem that lies above a coal seam or ore body.

The environmental impact of the coal industry includes issues such as land use, waste management, water and air pollution, caused by the coal mining, processing and the use of its addition to atmospheric pollution, coal burning produces hundreds of millions of tons of solid waste products annually, including fly ash, bottom ash, and fluegas desulfurization sludge, that contain ...
In the previous topic, we saw that blasting is the mining operation used to break the rock mass in order to facilitate the removal of the overburden. We saw that some of the main equipment used to remove the overburden are truck lines, trucking shovels, excavators. In this topic, we will look at some of the characteristics of these excavation metals, and at which deposits they are more suited.

The alliance was further extended in 2003 for the life of the mine. As the sole contractor operating on site, Thiess Indonesia provides totalmine solutions from mine and waste planning, clearing, overburden removal, coal crushing and washing right through to site environmental rehabilitation.
The Ensham operation comprises one active opencut coal mining pit and an underground mine, with current production levels of million tonnes per annum (mtpa). The Open Cut is a dragline operation with two active draglines removing overburden. Once exposed, the coal is removed by excavators and trucks and placed on stockpiles.
Overburden removal can begin after topsoil and subsoil have been removed. In areas of thick overburden, a hydraulic excavator and a fleet of end dump trucks are used to remove part of the overburden prior to dragline operations. The excavator and truck overburden removal step was introduced into BNI''s mining process in 2012.
At Buck Lilly Surface Mine in Rupert, WV, Vecellio Grogan is performing mine reclamation and overburden removal for Greenbrier Smokeless Mining.

Soil Stockpiling for Reclamation and Restoration activities after Mining and Construction . Patti Strohmayer . Stockpiling is a necessary part of civil engineering and mining operations. Stockpiling involves removing the topsoil (the A and B horizon of the soil). The topsoil is usually removed with
may precede removal of the overburden. The use of heavy machinery, usually bulldozers and dump trucks, is the most common means of removing overburden. Openpit mining often involves the removal of natively vegetated areas, and is therefore among the most environmentallydestructive types of mining, especially within tropical forests.
