The manual has been prepared as an aid in the preparation of subsidence control plans for underground coal mining operations. Most of the material in the manual was taken from the final report submitted to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement by GAI Consultants, Inc., Monroeville, Pennsylvania. It describes the subsidence process, reviews available subsidence prediction methods, and describes subsidence control and prevention techniques. It is intended for information purposes only. Each mining area is unique and different States have different regulatory program requirements, consequently, clear communication between the State Regulatory Authority and the mine operator is needed in order that the specific needs and requirements of the subsidence control regulations are understood and met.
