Map, directory, and statistics of permitted Colorado coal mines, 1983. [Colorado]

This directory is an update and revision of Map Series 15 published in 1981. The purpose of the publication is to provide insight into the Colorado coal industry. This report presents geologic, production and location data for permitted Colorado coal mines. Additional information was obtained by contacting individual mine personnel via mail and telephone. Mine information is presented for active, interim and reclamation permits. Exploration mines are not included due to restriction of access to these Mined Land Reclamation Division files. The accompanying map locates mines and lists them by county, coal mine name and parent company. Production data are tabulated by portal by the Colorado Division of Mines. Mines are plotted on the map by common permit area, but split out by portal in the text. A permit area may contain more than one portal, however, a permit area is not necessarily contiguous. The information contained in this report is the best available at the time of writing, August 1, 1983.
