This practice describes minimum data required to locate and identify a postmining land use for a surface coal mining and reclamation operation. Statutory language and definitions are found in Federal regulations 30 CFR 816/817.133 and 30 CFR 701.5. Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D18 on Soil and Rock, this practice was withdrawn in January 2013 and replaced by Practice D7780 for Geospatial Data for Representing Coal Mining Features.

Значение и использование

Within its area of exclusive jurisdiction, each RA is the authoritative data source (ADS) for coal mining spatial data that it creates and uses to implement SMCRA. These standards will help ensure uniformity of coal mining geospatial data used in internal business practices, exchanged among business partners within the coal mining community, and contributed by each ADS in future efforts to create national datasets describing coal mining operations in the United States. This geospatial data standard will help with the uniformity of data contributed by each RA and assist organizations in efforts to create, utilize, and share geospatial data relative to the SMCRA. Use of this standard will result in organized and accessible data to support programmatic decisions and work plan development, increased awareness of the permitted coal mining operations throughout the United States and better communication between the RA, other governmental entities, the public, and industry.

Coal mining geospatial post mining land use data shall be obtained from state, tribal, or federal regulatory authorities for each SCMO. The coal mining community encompasses all entities directly and indirectly affected by coal mining activities, including industry, environmental groups, the general public, and the government at all levels within the United States. Use of this standard will help create consistent maps and increase understanding of SCMO sites throughout the United States. This standard promotes the creation of well organized and easily accessible surface coal mining data, and it will facilitate better communication between state and federal offices, the public, industry, and environmental groups.

Within its area of exclusive jurisdiction, each RA is the ADS for coal mining spatial data that it creates and uses to regulate mining activity.

This geospatial data standard will help ensure uniformity of data contributed by each RA and assist organizations in efforts to create, utilize, and share geospatial data relative to SMCRA and it will lead to better communication between state, tribal, and federal regulatory offices, the public, and industry.

The appropriate postmining land use for land that has been previously mined and not reclaimed shall be determined on the basis of the land use that existed prior to any mining. If the land cannot be reclaimed to its premining land use, the appropriate postmining land use shall be documented on the basis of the highest and best use that can be achieved and which is compatible with surrounding undisturbed areas.

Federal regulations do not provide explicitly for compilation of standardized land use databases that would facilitate monitoring and analysis of mining activity at regional or national levels. This standard is in response to a need for a national database which can serve as a starting point for inquires and analysis related to the locations of postmining land uses.

Within its area of exclusive jurisdiction, each RA is the ADS for coal mining and reclamation spatial data that it creates and uses to regulate mining activity. These standards will help ensure uniformity of coal mining geospatial data used in internal business practices, exchanged among business partners within the coal mining community, and contributed by each ADS in future efforts to create national datasets describing surface coal mining in the United States.

Participation in the compilation of spatial data is not uniform across RAs, which may affect completeness, both in terms of spatial data, and associated attributes.

This standard conforms to the definition of a Data Content Standard as promulgated by the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). Terminology and definitions for identifying geographical features and describing the data model has been adopted from ANSI INCITS 320-1998 (R2003) and FGDC Project 1574-D.

Область применения

1.1 This practice describes minimum data required to locate and identify a postmining land use for a surface coal mining and reclamation operation. Statutory language and definitions are found in Federal regulations 30 CFR 816/817.133 and 30 CFR 701.5.

1.1.1 These postmining land use designations reflect coal mining reclamation practices relative to the standards set forth in the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Geospatial data associated with postmining land use shall be obtained from each regulatory authority (RA), which are authorized under SMCRA to regulate surface coal mining operations (SCMO) and reclamation activities within their borders. Each RA shall be the authoritative data source (ADS) for coal mining geospatial data.

1.2 This standard is one of several that have been approved or are in development related to SMCRA approved coal mining operations. Also under development is a terminology standard. Initial development of these standards is being done on an individual basis; however, they may be consolidated to reduce repetition of information between them.

1.3 This practice is limited to permitted coal mining operations after the passage of SMCRA.

1.4 SMCRA identifies land use categories for surface coal mining permits, such as cropland, pasture/hayland, grazing land, forest, residential, fish and wildlife habitat, developed water resources, public utilities, industrial/commercial, and recreation.

1.5 Postmining land uses for mountaintop removal and steep slope mining operations with approximate original contour (AOC) variances include the following:

1.5.1 A mountaintop removal AOC variance may only be granted if the applicant proposes to remove the entire coal seam or seams running through the upper fraction of the hill, ridge, or mountain creating a level plateau or gently rolling contour with no highwalls remaining, and capable of supporting the following postmining land uses.

1.5.2 The proposed postmining land use for a mountaintop removal operation with an AOC variance is limited to industrial, commercial, agricultural, residential, or public facility use.

1.5.3 The proposed use constitutes an equal or better economic or public use compared with the pre-mining use.

1.5.4 The proposed use will be compatible with adjacent land uses and existing state and local land use plans.

1.5.5 County commissions and other state and federal agencies were provided an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed postmining land use.

1.5.6 The application contains a specific plan and assurances that the proposed postmining land use will be:

1.5.6.1 Compatible with adjacent land uses; practicable with respect to financing and completing the proposed use; supported by commitments from public agencies where appropriate;

1.5.6.2 Planned pursuant to a schedule attached to the reclamation plan so as to integrate the mining operation and reclamation with the postmining land use;

1.5.6.3 Designed by a registered professional engineer to assure the stability, drainage, and configuration necessary for the intended use of the site.

1.6 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.7 This practice offers a set of instructions for performing one or more specific operations. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgment. Not all aspects of this practice may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a projects many unique aspects. The word Standard in the title of this document means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process.

1.8 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
