Abstract:

Study units of representative coal-producing counties in various coal provinces

in U.S. where coal handling facilities (preparation plants & tipples) are

subject by OSM and various state/Federal agencies to some form of onsite or

off-site classification. Varying degrees of regulatory control and some type of

periodic inspection program. With the aid of OSM for these study units, coal

handling sites were identified as to their current onsite or off-site definition

and some of the specific points relevant to that characterization such as

distance to coal source documented. Costs to bring facilities in compliance

w/OSM are determined.
