Additional beds that are produced are also listed. The correlative bed names discussed in Chapters F and G of Professional Paper 1625-C were included as part of the data search from the source information (EIA database). However, the coal bed names of this spatial dataset do not necessarily match the geographic distribution listed by county or coal district discussed in Chapters F and G. Only minor modifications were made to the original data, which are presented largely as received from the EIA database search. Coordinates of the mines may not be the mine workings, but may represent the mine office or other location. The attributes of the points include up to five coals in order of importance to production (COAL1 through COAL5). The reported thicknesses of these coals may also be provided (C1RPTTHK through C5RPTTHK, respectively). Cover name: mines.shp Purpose: This dataset was compiled to provide an overview of the locations of mines producing the coals studied in this assessment. It is a snapshot in time, because information was searched from the 1995 version of the EIA database and was provided by EIA to the USGS at that time.

Original data are from the reporting form 7A delivered by the coal companies to the Energy Information Administration. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The attributes are as accurate as the source information; locations and bed information may not necessarily be correct. The location provided is hopefully of the actual mine, but may in reality be the mine office or some other location. Logical_Consistency_Report: Topologically clean Completeness_Report: There were approximately 270 study area entries in the EIA datafile that had bed codes of 0939, which represent mines that are producing less than 10,000 tons annually and are considered "out of scope". These mines are not required to report which bed they mine and were omitted from this coverage. In addition, there were mines with missing locations (7 in the Pittsburgh coal bed, 5 in the Upper Freeport coal bed, 2 in the Lower Kittanning coal bed, 7 in the Pond Creek coal bed (and equivalents), and 3 in the Fire Clay coal bed). Mines with obviously erroneous locations were deleted.

Process_Date: 1996 Process_Step: Process_Description: Data manipulated in EXCEL producing PRN files that were imported to ARC as point covers and attributed with latitude, longitude, and EIA 10-digit identification code (eia_code). This coverage included all current and historical mines from 1980 through 1995. Process_Date: 1997 Process_Step: Process_Description: An EIA-searched file contained 2620 active entries in 1995, which included coal preparation plants and tipples as well as active mines. The file was sorted to be in order by state (FIPS) and only records in the following states were retained: Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia (Tennessee and Alabama were retained, then later deleted). Process_Date: 1998 Process_Step: Process_Description: Deleted lines with code 2 in column 182 (preparation plants). Checked entries with no code and deleted if name contained "breaker" or "tipple". Used UNIX cut command to create a file with desired database columns for point coverage attributes. Did not retain geographic coordinates from this file; used the point coverage for which locations had been edited by Emil Attanasi prior to import to ARC. Process_Date: 1998 Process_Step: Process_Description: Used UNIX grep command to retrieve only the data lines for the six Appalachian assessment beds and uncorrelated coals using the EIA bed code definitions that had been provided. Codes searched included: 0157, 0135, 0126, 0137, 0344, 0084, 0168, 0071, 0036, 0212, 0167, 0176, 0179, 0151, 0142, 0799. Imported file to EXCEL in order to get export file with comma delimiters between the data fields. Process_Date: 1998 Process_Step: Process_Description: Created info file of attributes from previous file and used joinitem (eia_code) on point coverage. Process_Date: 1998 Process_Step: Process_Description: Selected bed1 = 0 (mines that were not of the six assessment beds), nselect and then put into a new coverage: assessmines. This coverage in Albers coordinates. Projected to lat/long coordinates to create cover mines.shp. Process_Date: 1998 Process_Step: Process_Description: Deleted mines with coal bed code 0799 (uncorrelated). Changed all attributes from numeric codes to bed names or text.
