This study was conducted for the Air Pollution Control Office of the Environmental Protection Agency to determine the amount, location, quality, and economic position of low-sulfur strippable coal in the San Juan Basin. The purpose is to permit nationwide energy-resource planning to include the San Juan coal, and to allow evaluation of it in terms of sulfur-oxide air pollution. The investigation was done by the New Mexico State Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources under a federal grant matched 1 to 3 by the Bureau. In addition, much required analytical work was furnished by the U. S. Bureau of Mines. The report is a compendium of short, more or less self-contained papers dealing with the various coal fields and areas, and with other pertinent subjects. Data were gathered from all available sources, and include published geologic work, original geologic observation, private consultants' reports, logs of test holes drilled by holders of leases and exploration permits, logs of holes drilled by the New Mexico State Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources, reserve calculations furnished by operators, and information from oil and gas tests. The best use was made of whatever data could be found for a particular area; therefore reserve estimates range in reliability from proven tonnages to speculation based on geologic inferences.
