Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Pennsylvania state law requires those who wish to conduct mining activities within the Commonwealth submit and get approval by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for permits related to those activities. These permits are written to cover various aspects of the mining operations, such as: reclamation, water quality protection, air quality protection, waste disposal and mine subsidence control. The DEP California District Office reviews permit applications related to Bituminous coal underground mining. Module 6.1 of the Application for a Bituminous Underground Mine requires a Location Map be submitted with the permit. The Location Map should be a 7.5 Minute USGS map covering the area within one (1) mile of the underground permit area boundaries. This dataset contains the digitized underground permit area boundaries of the active underground bituminous mines in Pennsylvania based on the Location Maps submitted with the permit applications and permit renewal applications.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Label: Digitized Mined Area Description: This dataset identifies the areas of various non-coal industrial minerals in Pennsylvania that have been extracted by various underground mining techniques. The information in this dataset was gathered from digitizing the area of extracted non-coal industrial minerals identified on historic and modern mine maps. The maps to these mines are stored at many various public and private locations throughout the Commonwealth. The maps have been scanned to create a digital archive, and georeferenced to their approximate location for use in a geographic information system (GIS). The dataset is continuously updated as new maps are processed.
