Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of District Mining OperationsNoneenCoal mining has occurred in Pennsylvania for over a century. This dataset tries to identify the areas of the various coal seams in Pennsylvania that have been extracted by various underground mining techniques. This information can be used for many environmental related issues, including mine land reclamation and determination of needs for Mine Subsidence Insurance. The information in this dataset was gathered from digitizing the area of extracted coal identified on historic and modern underground mine maps. The maps to these coal mines are stored at many various public and private locations (if they still exist at all) throughout the commonwealth, they have been scanned to create a digital archive, and georeferenced to their approximate location for use in a geographic information system (GIS). The dataset is continuously updated as new maps are processed and is not considered “completed”, i.e. just because an area in Pennsylvania is not identified in this dataset as mined, does not mean the area was not mined. The purpose of this dataset is to combine location information of coal mines into one place from various sources so that the data can be readily available to environmental professionals.This data is intended for use at 1:24,000 or smaller scale.publication date202603In workMonthly-80.620713-78.19764341.30545339.694012-219508.026968-16947.10371880246.541537256005.913912ISO 19115 Topic Categoriescoal mineanthracite bituminousDigitized Mined Areascoal resourcesabandoned mineactive minegeoscientificinformationPennsylvaniaPersonal GeoDatabase Feature Class

Credit should be given to the mine operators for developing the original mine maps.This dataset was created by scanning historic and modern mine maps from various mine map repositories made available to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The digital scanned images of the maps were then georeferenced using ArcGIS to base maps, including but not limited to 7.5 minute USGS topographic maps and PAMAP aerial photography. Next, the digitized mined out areas on the map images were digitized and attributed.Several attributes contain details of mine names, operators, status, and other details of mining operations. These mine names, operators, status, and other details of mining operations change over time and there is NO guarantee that the data listed is the most accurate, recent, and/or complete.This dataset was created by digitizing georeferenced mine maps of various/unknown accuracy and various/unknown coordinate systems to various base maps, including but not limited to USGS topographic maps and PAMAP aerial photography. Therefore, horizontal accuracy of the polygons representing the digitized mined out area are UNKNOWN.202603_Updates.mdbLocal Area Network00230.693Personal GeoDatabase Feature ClassShapefile38.250Microsoft Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcGIS 10.0.4.4000Digitized Mined Areas 202603-80.620713-78.19764341.30545339.6940121-219508.026968-16947.103718256005.91391280246.5415371-80.620713-78.19764341.30545339.6940121002The purpose of this dataset is to combine location information of coal mines into one place from various sources so that the data can be readily available to environmental professionals.<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;">Coal mining has occurred in Pennsylvania for over a century.
