Quality and quantity of strippable subbituminous and lignite coal in 32 deposits are described, and coal distribution is shown on 46 plates. All of the coal is classified as low in sulfur except the Sweeney Creek-Snyder Creek coal deposit; its reported sulfur content exceeds 1% in four core samples. Total strippable reserves are 32 billion tons on 770,000 acres. Proximate analyses, forms of sulfur, calorific values, and major ash constituents of the coal samples are tabulated.
