- W2124451684 abstract "Synopsis Viewed simply, the legacies of coal mining may appear to present insurmountable problems for the environment, local communities and developers. From a different perspective, however, these ‘ problems’ can be transformed into challenges and opportunities. The impact of previous coal-mining activity on today’ s society can be subdivided into hazards for health and safety (e.g. the production and release of harmful mine gases into the atmosphere), landscape despoliation (e.g. unsightly and unrestored spoil tips), environmental and agricultural impacts (e.g. inadequate soil restoration on early opencast sites) and ground instability (e.g. arising from the presence of shallow mine workings). Careful planning, design and implementation, coupled with a partnership approach between mining companies, the local community and statutory authorities, can allow many of these problems to be minimized, managed and, possibly, eradicated while allowing the exploitation of valuable reserves of coal. Three opencast coal sites where past mining has had a particular impact are used to illustrate how problems created in the past can be rectified and highlight some of the design and operational difficulties that can be encountered on such projects. Mineral extraction in its various forms has left its mark on our land in many ways— some visible and some which, although not necessarily visible to the naked eye, have a significant impact on our ability to develop land now and in the future. The types of problems presented are illustrated with specific reference to previous coal-mining activity. Viewed simply, the legacies of coal mining may appear to present insurmountable problems for the environment, local communities and developers. From a different perspective, however, these ‘ problems’ can be transformed into challenges and opportunities. Three examples taken from sites across England are used to illustrate the potential opportunities that such past activity can present to the modern-day mining operator. Nobody, however, should view the solution of these past problems by modern opencasting as a straightforward exercise. The legacies of yesteryear are often more complex than they first appear and careful consideration needs to be given to their potential impact. As a result, reference is also made to some of the design and operational difficulties that need to be considered and dealt with as previous mine workings are exposed. The three examples are the Garforth, Carrington Farm and Pegswood Moor Farm sites, which were or are currently operated by H. J. Banks and Company, Ltd., a privately owned company based in County Durham, England." @default.
