In Australia, the discharge of produced water from coal mining and related activities is regulated by the state environment agency through a pollution licence. This licence sets the discharge limits for a range of analytes to protect the
2010-6-1 The recent decline in open cut mining for black coal, from a peak of 78.1% in 2004 to 75.7% in 2008, may suggest the beginning of a trend back to underground mining—possibly reflecting the exhaustion of near-surface coal resources and the need to mine deeper.
2012-7-11 These cases represent two of Australia’s largest mining exports, LNG and Coal, but also raise serious environmental concerns for key assets: the Kimberley and Great Barrier Reef.
Since coal is combustible, the threat of fire is another example of the environmental effects of coal mining. If a fire occurs in a coal bed, it can last for years or even
2021-5-10 Environmental groups and some sectors of the community would like to see greater environmental protection of natural features from the environmental impacts of coal mining, particularly subsidence. Similarly, the potential impact of mining on water resources of the State has created conflict in agricultural communities.
2021-5-13 The Australian Government plays an important role in protecting our environment from potential impacts of development activity, with a focus on matters of national environmental significance. In the case of development activity related to large coal mines and the extraction of coal seam gas, this includes potential impacts on water resources.
2020-12-21 Coal mining adversely affects the eco-system as a whole. On the unstable earth, the un-resting mankind constantly uses a variety of resources for daily lives.

2018-6-11 Managing the cumulative impacts of coal mining in Australia Impact Assessment and Project Appraisal December 2010 301 The Australian coal industry Australia is the world s largest exporter of black coal and the fourth largest producer. Black coal is mined for both metallurgical and energy production purposes.
National standards for consistent air, water and soil quality monitoring at and around every coal mine and power station in Australia conducted by an independent body with no relationship to the coal industry; Adequate funding allocated for research to evaluate the health, social and environmental impacts of coal in coal mining communities.
2021-2-15 The Environmental Impacts of Coal A toxic industry Coal is the dirtiest of all fuels. From mining to coal cleaning, from transportation to electricity generation to disposal, coal releases numerous toxic pollutants into the air, water and land. These disrupt ecosystems and endanger human health. Some cause cancer, others damage the nervous
2021-5-2 Coal mining. Coal mining also has a number of adverse effects on the environment: the release of methane (CH 4), a potent greenhouse gas estimated to account for 18% of the overall global warming effect triggered by human activities (CO 2 is estimated to contribute 50%).
2017-4-25 Coal is removed in a number of ways including: contour mining, strip mining, and mountaintop removal. After undergoing a cleansing process, coal is typically burned in order to produce electricity. The coal industry has a significantly negative environmental impact on the land, water, and air.
2013-11-13 underground mining (room pillar, long wall, drift, shaft, slope mining) are some types of coal mining. Proper Environment impact assessment of coal mining is very important and here we take some issues which should be considered and some mitigation measures are discussed. 2. Environment and Social issues related to coal mining
2019-5-22 The mining industry, though, says Galilee coal is up to 5800 kilocalories per kilogram, better than an average Indian energy content of as much as 4600 kcal/kg.
2020-5-27 Mining remains an essential and growing part of the modern industry. By some estimates, it makes up nearly 45% of the total global economy, and mineral production continues to increase as demand for raw materials grows around the world.. However, many mining techniques still in use can have serious impacts on both the mining site itself and the surrounding environment.

2021-3-9 Black coal is also Australia’s biggest commodity export, generates significant GDP, and directly and indirectly employs many thousands of Australians. NSW coal production was valued at $8.5 billion in 2005/06. Coal is the largest mining sector in NSW and accounts for 73 percent of all mineral production in NSW.

2021-5-13 Strip mining accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s coal mines but in some countries, such as Australia, open cast mines make up 80 percent of mines. Even though it’s highly destructive, industry often prefers strip mining as it requires less labour and yields more coal than underground mining.
