Numerous requests for mined area information from
public/government/industry, who are often referred to the online maps
and reports. Public PDF files are available on our website. Occasional
users of information from individual mine map images or digitized
historical reports, notes, etc., requested through coal section. No
outside users of mine-info database itself, but the database is directly
used to print PDF reports.
