Urban Mining is open the 1st weekend of every month. It's located on Walnut, between 39th and 40th Streets. It's really a neat thrift store.
The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. The fundamental purposes of the coal mining risk assessment are to identify the risks of coal mining at the development site. The Coal Authority is a legal consultant for any planning application within a High-Risk Zone. Also, a visit to the offices of the Coal Authority to assess mining plans, a review of modern and historical published geological maps, and a review of technical reports/memoirs.

Flying over West Virginia for the first time on a Southwest Air flight to Newark (their new service). Saw these cut off mountains. I think this is evidence of mountaintop coal mining.

CLIMATE CHANGE: In this Wednesday, May 11, 2016 photo, Coal Miner Scott Tiller drives a man trip, a cart that shuttles miners underground, as he ends a shift in a mine less than 40-inches high in Welch, W.Va. For over a century, life in Central Appalachia has been largely defined by the ups and downs of the coal industry. There is a growing sense in these mountains that for a variety of reasons, economic, environmental, political, coal mining will not rebound this time. Coal's slump is largely the result of cheap natural gas, which now rivals coal as a fuel for generating electricity. Older coal-fired plants are being idled to meet clean-air standards. According to the Labor Department, there were 56,700 jobs in coal mining in March, down from 84,600 in March 2009, shortly after President Barack Obama entered office. There are stark differences between the two parties on energy and environment issues that underscore the sky-high stakes for both sides of the debate in the 2016 presidential race. Many environmental groups and Democrats fear a potential rollback of the Obama administrationās policies on climate change and renewable energy under a Republican president. Republicans all support coal production and enthusiastically back nuclear energy. They along with business groups are eager to boost oil and gas production following years of frustration with Obama.

This is an area rich in mining history. It's off of Highway 550 a.k.a. the 'Million Dollar Highway' in southwest Colorado.
