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. The coal mining risk assessment includes an assessment of the Coal Authority Mining Report. 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.

Mining bees, or digger bees, (familys Andrenidae & Anthophoridae) nest in burrows in the ground. Unlike the honey bee, mining bees are "solitary" bees. They do not form long-lived colonies, nor do they live inside a single, well-defended nest controlled by one queen bee. Instead, each mining bee female usually digs her own individual burrow to rear her own young. Large numbers of these bees may nest near one another if soil conditions are suitable.
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.
I can't complain too much about it because mining is what keeps my community afloat and it is the riches from the miners that afford to come to my business and grace me with the comforts of my life.
The Arigna Mining Experience is a unique community inspired initiative which records 400 years of mining history in the area. Coal mining provided much needed work in a region of poor agricultural land. Regular employment was uncommon in the province of Connaught in the 19th and 20th centuries, and it is often said; “There was money in Arigna when there was no money elsewhere”. The industry sustained the community of Arigna down through the centuries and helped them through the horrors of the famine years (1845 to 1852).
The possibility of developing a mining visitor centre in Arigna, Co. Roscommon first emerged when the last coal mines closed in 1990. This development was driven by the local community with the major support from a number of agencies within County Roscommon. Arigna LEADER was the first advocate of the development and secured the necessary finance to initiate the project. Funding followed from the Arigna Enterprise Fund and the Department of Communications, Marine & Natural Resources, which approved a grant of €950,000. This financing brought the project to completion. The development, as it stands, represents a total investment of over €1.5 million, including over €250,000 raised by the local community.

Tumco (originally Hedges) was a gold mining town in the Cargo Muchachos range founded in the 1870s. For half a century men toiled in this place, dying of exhaustion, starvation, and disease, drowned or crushed in mines and quarries, all for one dollar a day in wages. Today little remains of Tumco save some ruins, derelict mining equipment and a cemetery full of unmarked graves. The site is almost totally silent save for the wind whistling through the jagged Muchachos and the hundreds of tunnels delved into them. This place gave me the creeps.
