Coalex Research Reports
This is the Office of Surface Mining's library of COALEX Research Reports. COALEX is a data base of mining and reclamation information, including the Surface Mining Law and regulations, maintained in LEXIS-NEXIS--a commercial, on-line research service. These reports have been compiled under a cooperative agreement between the Office of Surface Mining and the Interstate Mining Compact Commission, which represents most U.S. coal producing states. Each report, which includes an analysis of a specific issue requested by a state regulatory authority with responsibility for carrying out the Surface Mining Law, falls into one of three broad categories of information:
State Inquiry Reports are prepared in response to specific requests from state attorneys and regulatory personnel.
State Comparison Reports address a topic of general interest, usually a regulatory issue, and make a comparison of primacy state regulations, highlighting significant differences.
Significant Issue Reports consist of in-depth reports on topics of general interest, including legislative and regulatory history and case law.
Please Note that information contained in these reports may have originated from databases possibly out of date at the time the reports were compiled.
Copies of the research reports and attachments are available to the public, upon request. For additional information, or to obtain copies of the listed attachments, contact Webmanager@osmre.gov.
