Blasting is a key part of accessing coal but can have serious consequences if done wrong. That's why OSMRE has an important program to certify professional blasters to ensure safety and compliance. 🚧👷♀️👷♂️ Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eqhpukMN #OSMRE #coal #resources #mining #safety

Mining has always been and interdisciplinary industry. Today, more so than ever.

The NSW Government has passed legislation to ban offshore drilling and mining in NSW waters in a bid to limit the environmental impacts of the industry. It will be interesting to see if other states follow suit and the effects this will have on the market, workforce, and of course, the environment. #infrastructurepeople #trustedpartner #mining #drilling

When talking about mine dewatering, the main objective of ABEL pumps is to reduce water settling, allowing the elimination of sedimentation ponds. ABEL helps to automate the pumping process and reduce the number of personnel hours required to clean the pond, generating an important improvement in the safety of the person and the operational continuity of the dewatering process. ABEL is committed to maximum process automation and greater safety for mine personnel. #mining #dewateringpumps #safety #undergroundmining

Happy Birthday to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA)! SMCRA grew out of the environmental concerns around strip mining. Surface coal mining had been around since the 1930s, and some states began regulating them in the 1940s. Despite this, with high demand for coal power, environmental concerns were often set aside or ignored. With regulations varying from state to state, it was hard to hold mining companies to a consistent standard. In the early 1970s, as surface mining became more prevalent, Congress sent mining regulation bills to President Ford, only to be vetoed. Congress persevered, however, and in 1977 President Carter signed SMCRA into law. SMCRA both regulates active coal mines and created a reclamation program for abandoned mine lands. The active mine program sets standards for environmental impacts, require companies to obtain permits and post reclamation bonds prior to mining, gives inspectors authority to review mining operations and enforce violations; and restricts mining altogether on certain lands such as National Parks and Wilderness Areas. For inactive coal mines, SMCRA created an Abandoned Mine Land (AML) fund, financed by a tax on coal, to pay for reclamation and safeguarding of mines that were abandoned prior to 1977 (it was later amended to allow funds to be spent on post-1977 abandoned mines as well). Part of the fund also supports responding to emergencies such as coal fires, subsidence, and landslides. Colorado's Inactive Mine Reclamation Program receives, on average, $3 million each year in "fee based" funding for safeguarding and program operations, in addition to approximately $10 million for coal related reclamation from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. There is no other program to address past mining hazards, and minimal funding is available for environmental projects.
