Three papers are directly relevant to coal mining: coal mine highwall stability by Ben Seegmiller; construction and operation of a major mined-rock disposal facility at Elkview Coal Corporation, British Colombia by Brent Zeitz; and steepened spoil slopes at Bridger Coal Company, by William Gerhard. The papers were invited in the long time lapse between the 3rd and 4th international conference on stability in open pit mining to supplement earlier proceedings. Immediately following the publication of this volume, a symposium was held in conjunction with the 2001 SME annual meeting in Denver, Colorado, USA.
