This publication provides volume data on coal distribution by coal producing district, consumer use, and method of transportation. All data for 1982 in this report are preliminary. Data for 1978-1981 are final. Production and/or purchases of coal in the United States from January-September 1982 totaled 628.9 million short tons or 8 percent more than the 582.3 milion tons produced or purchased during the same period of 1981. The January-September 1981 coal production was curtailed by the United Mine Workers of America strike that began on March 27 and ended on June 7. Distribution of coal during the first nine months of 1982 totaled 617.6 million tons, an increase of 6 percent over the 584.8 million tons distributed during January-September 1981. A total of 14.4 millions of coal was added to stocks held by producers and distributors during January-September 1982. Railroads hauled 316.5 million tons or 59 percent of the 532.9 million tons of coal shipped to consumers in the United States from January-September 1982. Water transportation ranked second with 88.5 million tons or 17 percent, followed in descending order by truck, 74.3 million tons (14 percent), and tramway/conveyor and slurry pipeline, 52.5 million tons (10 percent). The method of transportation for the remaining 1.2 million tons (0.2 percent) was either unknown or concealed to avoid the disclosure of individual company data.
