    Surface Coal Mining
    Surface Coal Mining. The primary methods of surface coal mining used in Pennsylvania are: Strip Mining: Layers of soil and rock overburden are removed the coal exposed coal seam is excavated. The area is then backfilled, regraded, and replanted during the reclamation process. Highwall Mining: An outcrop of coal is removed by traditional excavators, or by using auger mining (drilling directly ...
