ii Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
Preface

Coal Industry Annual 1995 provides comprehensive

information about U.S. coal production, number of

mines, prices, productivity, employment, productive

capacity, and recoverable reserves. U.S. coal production for 1995 and previous years is based on the

annual survey EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report."

This report presents data on coal consumption, coal

distribution, coal stocks, coal prices, coal quality, and

emissions for Congress, Federal and State agencies,

the coal industry, and the general public. Appendix A

contains a compilation of coal statistics for the major

coal-producing States. This report does not include

coal consumption data for nonutility power producers

that are not in the manufacturing, agriculture, mining,

construction, or commercial sectors. Consumption for

nonutility power producers not included in this report

is estimated to be 21 million short tons for 1995.

The data presented in the report were collected and

published by the Energy Information Administration

(EIA), to fulfill its data collection and dissemination

responsibilities, as specified in the Federal Energy

Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), as

amended. Data for the Demonstrated Reserve Base

(DRB) are now reported in U.S. Coal Reserves: A

Review and Update (DOE/EIA-0529). However, this

report presents data on the recoverable portion of the

DRB in Table 105.

The base year for the implicit price deflator, which is

used to convert nominal figures to real figures was

changed to 1992 from the previous base year of 1987

(Table D3).

This report constitutes the 20th annual report on coal

production published by EIA and continues the series

formerly included in the Minerals Yearbook published

by the Bureau of Mines.

The Office of Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate

Fuels gratefully acknowledges the cooperation of the

respondents in supplying the information presented in

this report and appreciates the valuable assistance of

State coal mining agencies; the U.S. Department of

the Interior: the Bureau of Land Management, the

Minerals Management Service; the U.S. Department

of Labor: the Mine Safety and Health Administration,

Executive Summary

Coal's Role in the U.S.

Energy Picture

Total U.S. energy production in 1995 continued the

upward swing begun in 1994, rising 1 percent to 71.16

quadrillion Btu. Coal production in Btu terms dropped

less than 1 percent to 21.91 quadrillion Btu (1,033

million short tons), mainly because the production of

low-Btu coal in Wyoming increased by 11 percent.

Nuclear electric power and renewable energy sources,

in particular conventional hydroelectric power and

biofuels, were up from their 1994 levels, while natural

gas and oil production declined (Table ES1).

Total U.S. energy consumption reached a record level

of 90.62 quadrillion Btu in 1995, the fourth consecutive year of growth. Coal consumption reached 19.62

quadrillion Btu (941 million short tons), a 1-percent

increase over the 1994 level. Consumption of natural

gas, nuclear electric, hydroelectric power, and

biofuels also rose, while consumption of petroleum

went down.

The electric utility sector accounted for 88 percent of

the total coal consumed in 1995. Coal-fired units

represented 55 percent of utility generation of electricity, 1 percent less than in 1994. Petroleum generation paralled this decline. Electricity generated by

hydroelectric and nuclear power, and by natural gas

increased (Table ES2).

U.S. coal exports rebounded after 3 years of decline to

again become the primary U.S. energy export. In

1995, U.S. coal exports rose to 2.32 (89 million short

tons) quadrillion Btu, 23 percent more than in 1994.

In comparison, coal imports, accounting for less than

1 percent of U.S. energy imports, declined to 0.18 (7

million short tons) quadrillion Btu, 5 percent less than

in 1994.

Production

U.S. coal production totaled 1,033 million short tons,

about the same as in 1994. Wyoming's production set

a record high; it remained the leading coal-producing

State, followed by West Virginia, and Kentucky. On

the other hand, Kentucky's production was at the

lowest level since 1985; Indiana and Virginia's coal

output was the lowest since 1978; and Ohio had the

lowest level of production since 1940. (This output

does not include about 4 million short tons of low-Btu

waste coal, which is recovered and used by independent power producers and reported to their respective State governments.)

Coal production for States east of the Mississippi

River declined to 544 million short tons, as demand

for low price subbituminous coal from Wyoming

increased. The States with the largest decrease in production were Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, and

Virginia, which together had 24 million short tons less

coal output than in 1994. The eastern States had a

combined net loss of 244 mines and 6,982 miners.

However, miner productivity in this region rose 5

percent in 1995 to 3.45 short tons per miner per hour,

the second consecutive year of substantial gain. This

is due in part to the closure of some small, lessproductive mines and to the increased utilization of

more productive mining methods (example longwall).

Coal production west of the Mississippi River reached

a record 489 million short tons, despite 6 fewer mines

in the region and 266 fewer miners. Wyoming's coal

output, which was 27 million short tons higher than in

1994, accounted for most of the growth. Miner productivity in the region rose 7 percent to 14.18 short

tons per miner per hour, in part due to the use of new,

upgraded equipment at the mines.

Coal Mine Prices

The average price of U.S. coal in 1995 was $18.83 per

short ton, 3 percent less than in 1994. The price of

coal from mines west of the Mississippi River fell 4

percent from the 1994 level. Coal prices at mines east

of the Mississippi River also dipped, but by less than

1 percent.

Coal Imports

U.S. coal imports in 1995 were 7 million short tons, 5

percent less than in 1994. Colombia accounted for

most of the decrease in tonnage, with over 600,000

short tons less coal shipped in 1995 than in 1994. The

decline was partially offset by increased shipments

from Venezuela and Australia. Colombia exported 19

percent less coal and Venezuela exported 21 percent

more to the United States electric utility sector.

The average price of imported coal in 1995 went up

by 13 percent from 1994 to $34.13 per short ton. The

average price of coal imported from all foreign

sources rose in 1995. Coal imports were valued at

$246 million, up from $229 million in 1994.

Coal Consumption

In 1995, domestic coal consumption rose to a record

of 941 million short tons, a 1-percent increase over

1994. (This total does not include about 21 million

short tons of coal consumed by independent power

producers in 1995.) Electric utility coal consumption

rose by 1 percent to 829 million short tons, even

though net generation at electric utilities rose by 3

percent. Coal consumption at electric utilities was

indirectly affected by: a substantial increase in hydroelectric generation due to heavy precipitation, particularly in California and the Pacific Northwest; higher

nuclear generation; and abundant supplies of low-cost

natural gas which, at some electric utilities, allowed

gas to edge out coal as the lowest cost fuel for electric

generation.

Industrial plants consumed 73 million short tons of

coal, 3 percent less than in 1994. Coal carbonized at

coke plants increased by 4 percent to 33 million short

tons, while the residential and commercial sectors

consumed about 6 million short tons.

The average sulfur content (measured as percent

sulfur by weight) of coal received at electric utilities

in 1995 was 1.08 percent, down 7 percent from 1994.

The quality of coal received at manufacturing and

coke plants showed a sulfur content of 1.15, slightly

less than in 1994.

Coal Stocks

Coal stocks held by consumers on December 31,

1995, totaled 135 million short tons, 1.3 million short

tons less than in 1994. Compared with 1994, year-end

1995 coal stocks in the electric utility and other

industrial sectors declined by 0.3 million short tons

and 1.0 million short tons, respectively, while coal

stocks at coke plants remained about the same. Producer and distributor stocks at the end of 1995 were

34 million short tons, an increase of 1.2 million short

tons.

Delivered Coal Prices

The price of coal delivered to all consuming sectors

except coke plants declined in 1995. The delivered

price of coal to the electric utility and other industrial

sectors dropped by 4 percent and 1 percent, respectively, to $27.01 per short ton and $32.42 per short

ton. The price of coal delivered to coke plants rose 2

percent to $47.34 per short ton.

Coal Exports

U.S. coal exports rose by 24 percent to 89 million

short tons in 1995, reversing the downward trend

begun in 1991. A 36-percent increase in shipments to

Europe accounted for most of the growth.

Compared with 1994, steam coal exports rose 52

percent in 1995 to 36 million short tons. After

declining sharply in 1993, steam coal exports to

Europe nearly leveled off in 1994 at 11 million short

tons, and then more than doubled in 1995 to 21

million short tons. Steam coal exports to Asia

remained about the same while steam coal exports to

North America increased 7 percent.

U.S. metallurgical coal exports increased by 10

percent from the 1994 level, to 52 million short tons.

Higher shipments to coke plants in Romania, Brazil,

the Netherlands, and Japan accounted for most of the

increase.

West Virginia continued to dominate coal exports in

1995, shipping over 44 million short tons, a

22-percent increase from 1994. About 78 percent, or

35 million short tons, went to overseas metallurgical

coal markets, while exports to overseas steam markets

more than doubled reaching 10 million short tons.

The average price of U.S. coal exports in 1995 was

$40.27 per short ton, a 1-percent increase. U.S.

metallurgical coal export prices rose 4 percent to

$44.30 per short ton. U.S. steam coal export prices

went up slightly to $34.51 per short ton. Coal exports

in 1995 were valued at $3.6 billion.

Company Mergers & Sales

Beacon Group Energy Investment Fund LP paid

nearly $232 million for 75 percent of Mapco Coal Inc.

The two companies formed a limited partnership to

operate the coal company. Mapco's production totaled

13.6 million short tons, making it the 18th ranked coal

producing company in the United States.

In February 1995, Kindill Mining purchased three

surface mines located in Indiana. The Old Ben 1 and

Old Ben 2 surface mines were purchased from Zeigler

Coal Holding and the Minnehaha mine was purchased

from Cyprus AMAX Coal. The mines will be renamed

"Kindill 1", "Kindill 2", and "Kindill 3", respectively.

Kindill Mining was formed in 1995 by Wayne Park,

formerly of Cyprus AMAX Coal and Old Ben Coal.

Fifty percent of the old Minnehaha (now Kindill 3)

mine's production comes from the Addcar highwall

mining system, where the miners work both existing

highwalls of the mine. The Addcar system will be

used as part of a trench mining plan (100-foot-wide

trenches will be dug, exposing the coal seam on two

sides, worked simultaneously by the highwall miner).

The viability of this method in the current low-priced

coal market is uncertain. The remaining 50 percent of

the mine's coal production will come from a dragline,

performing more conventional surface mining in the

Indiana No. 6 and No. 7 coal seams. By mid-year

1996, the mine produced nearly 600 thousand short

tons. The coal reserves associated with the Minnehaha

mine are estimated to be 20 million short tons.

In May 1995, James River Coal purchased Transco

Coal from the Williams Companies. The transaction

included the Transco subsidiaries Kem Coal, Leeco

Inc., Mountain Clay, and Randall Fuel. In return,

Williams receives $65 million in cash and $23 million

in preferred stock. The use of preferred stock as

partial payment allowed James River to finance debt

for future projects, while preserving its equity base.

The purchase agreement did not include any Transco

properties in Tennessee.

James River Chairman, James Crawford, has stated

that Transco's contracts and mines could be consolidated with James Rivers'. He expects the expansion

of surface mining operations to depend upon the profitability of sales in the spot and short term markets.

Mr. Crawford also stated that James River will concentrate on lower-cost deep mining. James River Coal

produced 8 million short tons during 1995, ranking it

as the 23rd largest coal producer in the United States.

In addition to the acquisition of Transco's assets,

James River also sold some of its properties to Leslie

Resources. In late December 1995, Leslie Resources

completed a purchase of the common stock of James

River's Kem Coal (part of the above-mentioned

Transco package), Mountain Clay, New Brush Creek

Mining, and Aceco Companies. These James River

subsidiaries operated surface mines in Leslie, Perry

and Knott counties in eastern Kentucky. Other assets

in the deal included mining equipment and 88 million

tons of combined recoverable reserves.

In January 1995, Costain Group sold its 80 percent

interest in the Dolet Hills Mining Venture to Jones

Capital Corporation (Costain's minority partner and a

subsidiary of the German-owned construction

company Philipp Holzmann AG). In October 1995,

Costain agreed to sell its Area 6 surface mine located

in Alabama, and 25 to 30 million tons of associated

underground reserves.

In 1995, Costain Coal Inc. reported 10.4 million short

tons of coal production. They were the 20th ranked

coal producing company in the United States.

Completing its exit as a coal producer in West

Virginia, the Westmoreland Coal Company sold its

remaining assets in the State for $9 million in cash,

according to a company representative. The assets

included a term supply contract with Appalachian

Power, which was acquired by Burco Resources of

Big Stone Gap, Virginia, and the Hampton No. 3 prep

plant and load-out, which were acquired by Wind

River Resources of Bob White, West Virginia. Also

included in the transaction was Westmoreland's

remaining West Virginia coal lease, which was sold

back to the lessor, Penn Virginia Coal.

Addington Resources Inc. (ARI) sold its coal assets to

Addington Enterprises, which includes founder Larry

Addington and brothers Bruce and Robert, for $30

million. Addington Enterprises will assume liabilities

as well as future royalty payments. The sale finalized

November 1995 included the purchase of the

Tennessee Mining Co., Addwest Mining, and four

Kentucky mines left after the acquisition by the

Pittston Coal Company. Also included in the sale was

ARI's mining equipment subsidiary, the developer of

the Addcar Highwall mining system.

1 For 1986, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Daily Productive Capacity.’’ To obtain annual productive capacity for a mine in 1986, each mine’s daily

productive capacity was multiplied by the number of days worked during the year.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

Supply

Production

U.S. coal production during 1995 totaled 1,033

million short tons, about the same as last year's record

level of 1,034 million short tons (Table 1). Although

total U.S. coal production was essentially unchanged

from 1994, coal production at the State levels changed

dramatically. As in 1994, the largest coal-producing

State was Wyoming, followed by West Virginia and

Kentucky. Wyoming's coal production in 1995

increased 11 percent over its 1994 level to reach a

record of 264 million short tons. West Virginia

increased its coal production by 1 percent to a level of

163 million short tons, 7 percent less than the record

level of 176 million short tons in 1947. Kentucky, the

third largest coal-producing State, declined by 5

percent in 1995, to a level of 154 million short tons.

Only 11 of the 25 States showed an increase in coal

production in 1995.

Regionally, coal production in both the Appalachian

and Interior Regions declined in 1995, while the

Western Region increased for the ninth year in a row.

In Appalachia, even though increases in production in

1995 occurred in Alabama, Maryland, Tennessee, and

West Virginia, coal production in the region declined

10.5 million short tons (2.3 percent). The Interior

Region registered increases in production in Kansas,

Louisiana, and Texas, with only Louisiana obtaining a

record level. Overall, the Interior Region declined in

1995 by 11.3 million short tons (6.3 percent). In the

Western Region, four of the nine States (Alaska,

Colorado, Utah and Wyoming) increased their coal

production in 1995, with only Alaska failing to reach

a record level. Coal production in the Western Region

increased 21.3 million short tons, an increase of 5.2

percent. Over the last decade, the Appalachian Region

has only increased at an average annual rate of 0.2

percent, while the Western Region has increased 5.5

percent. During the same time period, the Interior

Region has declined at an average annual rate of 1.7

percent.

U.S. coal producers operated 2,104 mines during

1995, including 977 underground mines and 1,127

surface mines (Table 3). Underground mines produced

396 million short tons and represented 38 percent of

total coal production. Underground mines east of the

Mississippi accounted for 88.6 percent of all underground coal production in 1995. Surface mines west

of the Mississippi represented 69.7 percent of total

surface coal production in 1995. Of the top 20 coal

mines in the United States, 19 are surface mines, all

located west of the Mississippi; they accounted for

28.9 percent of total U.S. coal production. The top

nine mines in the United States are in Wyoming and

represent 18.8 percent of total U.S. coal production.

Productive Capacity

The total estimated productive capacity of U.S. coal

mines in 1995 was 1,299 million short tons, a

decrease of 1.6 percent compared with the total estimated productive capacity of 1,321 million short tons

in 1994 (Table 16). Following the same pattern as

coal production, the total estimated productive

capacity declined in both the Appalachian and Interior

Regions (4.1 and 8.3 percent, respectively), while

increasing in the Western Region (3.9 percent).

Although total estimated productive capacity

declined, coal mine capacity utilization, (defined as

the ratio of actual production to productive capacity)

rose to 79 percent in 1995 (Table 17). Capacity utilization increased for all three regions in 1995, with the

Interior Region showing the largest increase.

Recoverable Reserves

Estimated recoverable U.S. coal reserves at producing

mines in 1995 totaled 20 billion short tons. This

4.3-percent decrease continued a decline that started

in 1986 (Table 25). Recoverable reserves at producing

mines in the Western Region accounted for 63.3

percent of total reserves, with reserves at producing

mines in the Appalachian and Interior Regions representing 22.6 percent and 14.1 percent, respectively.

The average recovery percentage for all U.S.

producing mines in 1995 decreased slightly to 80.1

percent from the 80.4 percent in 1994 (Table 26). The

estimated recovery percent for all underground mines

in 1995 was 54.5 percent, a decline from the 56.5

percent in 1994. The estimated recovery percent at

surface mines remained unchanged in 1995 at 90

percent.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 1 
Producers and Distributors Stocks

Coal stocks held by U.S. coal producers and distributors at the end of 1995 totaled 34 million short tons,

an increase of 4 percent compared with stocks at

year-end 1994 and the highest year-end stock level

since 1982 (Table 34).

Coal Imports

U.S. coal imports during 1995 totaled 7.2 million

short tons, 5 percent less than the 7.6 million short

tons imported during 1994 (Table 35). Since 1986,

U.S. coal imports have increased at an average annual

rate of 14 percent.

Colombia, Venezuela, Canada, and Indonesia were the

major sources of imported coal during 1995. They

contributed 6.9 million short tons and accounted for

96 percent of total coal imports.

1 The coalbed ID number is a unique code assigned by EIA to each correlated coalbed or to coal-bearing geologic formations, coal groups, or coal

zones. 2 The coalbed name given is the name most commonly used in the State having the greatest production from that coalbed. The States having the

greatest production for each coalbed are: Eastern Kentucky (coalbeds 0111, 0135, 0151, 0154, 0157, 0168); West Virginia (0036, 0084, 0103, 0344);

Pennsylvania (0071,0076); Western Kentucky (0489); Illinois (0484); North Dakota (1569); Montana (1808); Wyoming (1699). In some other States where

these are major producing beds, the following alternate coalbed names are also used: 0084, No. 5 Block (Eastern Kentucky); 0111, Coalburg (West Virginia); 0135, Chilton (West Virginia); 0151, Jellico (Tennesee), Taggert (Virginia), Cedar Grove (West Virginia); 0154, Lower Cedar Grove (West Virginia);

0157, Upper Standiford (Virginia), Alma (West Virginia); 0168, No. 2 Gas (West Virginia); 0483, No. 12 (Western Kentucky); 0484, No. 11 (Western Kentucky); 0489, No. 5 (Illinois and Indiana).

3 Average thickness is the bed thickness weighted by bed production.

4 Includes mines with production of less than 10,000 short tons, which are required to provide only production data. NA Not available.

Notes: Coal production excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. A major coalbed is

defined here as a coalbed from which 10 million or more short tons were produced during the year. The category ‘‘Other Coalbeds’’ includes all coalbeds from which less than 10 million short tons were produced during the year. In some regions, coalbeds are characteristically discontinuous or uncorrelatable from one location to another, and production is identified by the geological formations, coal groups, or coal zones of the native rock where the

coalbeds occur. These types of coalbeds are found primarily in the Rocky Mountain States and even in the Gulf Coast lignite belt. Coalbeds of these

types are also included in ‘‘Other Coalbeds,’’ even though production may exceed 10 million short tons. Totals may not equal sum of components due to

independent rounding.

Employment and Productivity

Employment

In 1995, the average number of miners working daily

at mines and/or preparation plants producing or processing 10,000 or more short tons of coal dropped 7.4

percent from the 1994 level, to 90,252 miners (Table

40). Of the 25 coal-producing States, 18 had a

decrease in employment. Although all three regions

experienced a decline in employment, the Interior

Region accounted for the largest share of the decrease

(13.6 percent) in employment. The Appalachian

Region had an 7.1 percent decline, while the Western

Region showed a slight decline of 0.4 percent.

The average number of miners at underground mines

in 1995 totaled 57,879 miners, accounting for 64

percent of all U.S. miners (Table 41). Employment at

underground mines decreased 6 percent since 1994,

with both Appalachia and Interior Regions showing a

decline, while the Western Region showed an

increase.

In 1995, the average number of miners at surface

mines dropped 9.9 percent from the 1994 level to

32,373 miners (Table 42). All three regions had

decreases in surface employment in 1995, with the

Interior Region accounting for the largest share (21

percent) of the decline.

Mines that produced 1 million short tons or more of

coal in 1995, accounted for 72.8 percent of total production and employed 47 percent of the miners. Of

this total, 31 percent worked in underground mines

and 16 percent at surface mines. Over 41 thousand

miners (45.7 percent) belong to a union.

The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA)

represented 41.2 percent of the total coal mining

workforce, while 4.4 percent belonged to "other

unions" (Table 46).

Productivity

In 1995, coal miners working daily averaged 5.38

short tons per miner per hour, an increase of 8 percent

from the 1994 level (Table 48). Increases occurred in

all regions, with the Interior Region showing the

largest increase, 12.1 percent. Over the last decade,

productivity has risen at an annual average rate of 6.6

percent, increasing both at underground and surface

mines. Underground mines increased 6 percent over

the last decade, while surface mines rose 7 percent

during the same period.

1 Mining operations that consist of a mine and preparation plant, or a preparation plant only processing both underground and surface coal will be

counted as two operations.

2 Includes all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining operations. Excludes office workers. Includes mining operations management and all technical and engineering employees.

3 Calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining operations, but excludes office workers.

4 Calculated by multiplying average production per miner per hour by the average length of a miner shift.

5 For a definition of coal-producing regions, see Appendix C.

Notes: Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than

10,000 short tons of coal during the year, and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours, which are not required to provide these data.

1 Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of coal by continuous mining method.

2 Mines that produce greater than 50 percent of coal by conventional mining method.

3 Mines that have any production from longwall mining method. A typical longwall mining operation uses 80 percent longwall mining and 20 percent

continuous mining.

4 Mines that produce coal using shortwall, scoop loading, hand loading, or other mining methods or a 50/50 percent continuous/conventional split in

mining method.

5 For a definition of coal-producing regions, see Appendix C.

Notes: For each State, stand alone preparation plant hours are distributed across the mining methods by the proportion of production for all stand

alone mines. Productivity is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production,

preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, shop or yard work at mining operations, but excludes office workers. Excludes mines producing

less than 10,000 short tons of coal during the year, and preparation plants with less than 5,000 employee hours, which are not required to provide these

data.

Distribution

The amount of U.S. coal distributed during 1995

reached a record 1,030 million short tons, surpassing

by 1 percent the previous record of 1,023 million

short tons distributed during 1994 (Table 58). Compared with 1994, distribution of U.S. coal to domestic

consumers declined 1 percent to 940 million short

tons, while foreign distribution increased 24 percent

to 90 million short tons (Table 59).

Texas was the leading destination for coal distributed

domestically during 1995, with shipments totaling 94

million short tons, representing 9 percent of total distribution (Table 61). Of the coal distributed in Texas

during 1995, 56 percent was indigenous, with virtually all of the balance arriving from Wyoming (38

million short tons) and Colorado (2 million short tons)

(Table 61).

Other major destination States included Indiana,

Pennsylvania, and Ohio, which collectively received

170 million short tons, representing 16.5 percent of

total distribution. As with distributions of coal in

Texas, a substantial portion of the coal distributed in

each of these States was indigenous (Table 61).

West Virginia was the leading source of U.S. coal distributed abroad during 1995, with foreign shipments

totaling 44 million short tons, representing 49 percent

of total foreign distributions. Other leading sources of

U.S. coal distributed abroad during 1995 were

Virginia and Kentucky, each with foreign distributions totaling 10 million short tons, and

Pennsylvania, with foreign distributions totaling 8

million short tons. Collectively, foreign distributions

of coal mined in these four States totaled 72 million

short tons, accounting for 80 percent of the U.S. coal

shipped abroad during 1995.

Rail continued to be the primary method of transporting coal during 1995, accounting for 591 million

short tons, or 57 percent, of coal shipments (Table

65). Coal transported by water (including shipments

by river, shipments on the Great Lakes, and shipments

through tidewater ports) accounted for 233 million

short tons or 23 percent of total coal distributed. Distributions of coal by truck totaled 104 million short

tons (10 percent of the total), while distributions by

tramway and conveyor totaled 100 million short tons,

or 10 percent of the total.

NM Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent.

Notes: Major coal-exporting States are those with total coal exports of over 600,000 short tons in 1994. Totals may not equal sum of components

due to independent rounding.

Sources: Values shown for destinations other than Canada and Mexico are estimates based upon information reported on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-6, ‘‘Coal Distribution Report,’’ and coal export data presented in King’s COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee).

See the Explanatory Notes for a complete description of the methodology used to develop these estimates. Values shown for Canada and Mexico are

based upon Form EIA-6.

* Data round to zero.

NM Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent.

Notes: Major coal-exporting States are those with total coal exports of over 600,000 short tons in 1994. Totals may not equal sum of components

due to independent rounding.

Sources: Values shown for destinations other than Canada and Mexico are estimates based upon information reported on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-6, ‘‘Coal Distribution Report,’’ and coal export data presented in King’s COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee).

See the Explanatory Notes for a complete description of the methodology used to develop these estimates. Values shown for Canada and Mexico are

based upon Form EIA-6.

* Data round to zero.

NM Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent.

Notes: Major coal-exporting States are those with total coal exports of over 600,000 short tons in 1994. Totals may not equal sum of components

due to independent rounding.

Sources: Values shown for destinations other than Canada and Mexico are estimates based upon information reported on Energy Information Administration Form EIA-6, ‘‘Coal Distribution Report,’’ and coal export data presented in King’s COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee).

See the Explanatory Notes for a complete description of the methodology used to develop these estimates. Values shown for Canada and Mexico are

based upon Form EIA-6.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 127 
Demand

Domestic Markets

U.S. coal consumption during 1995 reached a record

941 million short tons, surpassing by 1.1 percent the

previous record of 930 million short tons consumed

during 1994. Consumption of coal by electric utilities

rose 1.4 percent to a record 829 million short tons,

accounting for 88 percent of total domestic coal consumption (Table 69). Compared with 1994, coal consumption at U.S. coke plants during 1995 rose 4

percent to 33 million short tons, while consumption at

other industrial plants declined 3 percent to 73 million

short tons (Table 71 and Table 73).

Electric Utility Use

Leading the 1995 increase in electric utility coal consumption was the additional 16 million short tons of

coal consumed by coal-fired electricity generators in

the East South Central, West North Central, and East

North Central Divisions. Collectively, electric utilities

in these three Census divisions accounted for 48

percent of total electric utility coal consumption in

1995. Electric utility coal consumption in the East

South Central Division rose 8 percent to 92 million

short tons, reflecting the increased use of coal-fired

generators to meet a 5-percent increase in electricity

demand. In the West North Central Division, electric

utility coal consumption rose 5 percent to 117 million

short tons as coal-fired electricity generation in

Missouri and Nebraska increased 10.3 percent and

14.8 percent, respectively. Similarly, in the East

North Central Division, rising electricity demand,

notably in Michigan and Ohio, boosted electric utility

coal consumption 2 percent to 187 million short tons.

The increased 1995 electric utility coal consumption

in these three Census Divisions was offset by declines

totaling 11 million short tons of coal consumed by

electric utilities in the Mountain and Pacific Divisions. Electric utility coal consumption in the Mountain Division declined 7 percent to 101 million short

tons as reduced electricity demand, coupled with

increased hydroelectric generation, led to a decline of

8 percent in coal-fired electricity generation. In the

Pacific Division, electric utility coal consumption

declined 41 percent to 5 million short tons as

increased hydroelectric generation in Washington and

Oregon replaced coal-fired generation.

Coke Plant Use

The increase in the total amount of coal consumed at

U.S. coke plants during 1995 was attributable primarily to plants in Indiana, where consumption of coking

coals rose by more than 1 million short tons (22

percent) to 6 million short tons. This increase,

coupled with increased coal consumption at coke

plants in Illinois and Kentucky, more than offset a

10-percent decline in coal consumption at coke plants

in Ohio.

Other Uses

Compared with 1994, coal consumption in the other

industrial sector declined 3.2 percent to 72.8 million

short tons. Coal consumption in the residential and

commercial sectors during 1995 totaled 6 million

short tons, 3 percent lower than in 1994.

Coal Stocks

Stocks of coal held by consumers at the close of 1995

totaled 134.6 million short tons, a decline of 1 percent

compared with stocks at the close of 1994. Compared

with year-end 1994, coal stocks at electric utility

power plants and coke plants at the end of 1995

remained relatively constant at approximately 127

million short tons and 3 million short tons, respectively, while coal stocks held by other industrial consumers declined 13 percent to 5.7 million short tons.

Foreign Markets

U.S. coal exports during 1995 totaled 88.5 million

short tons, 17.2 million short tons (24.1 percent) more

than in 1994. The primary reason for the increase was

the substantial growth in export demand for U.S.

steam coal. Compared with 1994, exports of steam

coal to Europe more than doubled to 21 million short

tons, reflecting sharp increases in steam coal shipments to most European destinations except Romania

and Belgium and Luxembourg. Steam coal exports to

Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom, which

totaled less than one million short tons in 1994,

increased to 5.6 million short tons, accounting for 46

percent of the total increase in steam coal shipments

to Europe. Similarly, compared with 1994, steam coal

shipments to Italy increased 82.5 percent to 4.6

million short tons while shipments to the Netherlands

more than doubled to 3.3 million short tons. In the Far

East, increases in steam coal shipments to Japan and

the Republic of Korea offset a decline in shipments to

Taiwan. U.S. metallurgical coal exports during 1995

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 129 
rose 10 percent to 52 million short tons, accounting

for 59 percent of total coal exports. Shipments of

metallurgical coal to Europe, which accounted for

over half of total metallurgical coal exports, increased

8 percent to 27 million short tons as increased shipments to Romania, Turkey, and the Netherlands offset

declines in shipments to Spain, Italy, and the United

Kingdom. Metallurgical coal shipments to Japan

increased 10 percent to 8 million short tons, while

shipments to Brazil increased 16 percent to 6 million

short tons.

Coal Prices

Mine Prices

The average mine price of U.S. coal in 1995 was

$18.83 per short ton, a drop of 3 percent from 1994

and the 13th straight year of decline (Table 80). Since

1986 the average mine price of U.S. coal has declined

at an average annual rate of 2.6 percent. During this

period, the average mine price of coal east of the

Mississippi River decreased at an annual average rate

of 1.2 percent, whereas west of the Mississippi River

the decline was 3.3 percent. In real dollars, the

decline over this period for the United States was 5.6

percent (Table 81).

Compared with 1994, the average mine price of coal

in both the Interior and Western Regions declined 5.3

percent and 4.0 percent, respectively, while the

average price in Appalachia increased 0.3 percent. In

the three largest coal-producing States, prices fell

slightly in West Virginia and Kentucky, while

declining in Wyoming by almost 4 percent.

Consumer Prices

The average price of coal delivered to electric utilities

during 1995 was $27.01 per short ton, 3.6 percent less

than the average price of $28.03 per short ton reported

for 1994 (Table 92). Similarly, compared with 1994,

the average price of coal delivered to industrial consumers other than coke plants declined 0.4 percent to

$32.42 per short ton, while the average price of coal

delivered to coke plants increased 1.7 percent to

$47.34 per short ton (Tables 94 and 96).

The average price of U.S. coal imports in 1995 was

$34.13 per short ton, a 13-percent increase compared

with the 1994 average of $30.21 per short ton.

The average price of U.S. coal exported during 1995

was $40.27 per short ton, 0.8 percent above the

average of $39.93 per short ton reported for 1994

(Table 99). Compared with 1994, the average price of

metallurgical coal exported during 1995 increased 3.6

percent to $44.30 per short ton, while the average

price of steam coal rose 0.5 percent to $34.51 per

short ton (Tables 101 and 103).

184 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
Coal Quality and Emissions

As of January 1, 1995, recoverable U.S. coal reserves

were estimated to total 274 billion short tons (Table

105). Reserves of low sulfur coal (defined as coal

containing from 0 to 0.60 pounds of sulfur per million

Btu) are estimated to represent 37 percent of all

reserves, with medium sulfur coal (containing 0.61 to

1.67 pounds sulfur per million Btu) and high sulfur

coal (containing more than 1.67 pounds sulfur per

million Btu) each accounting for 32 percent of total

reserves.

Compared with 1994, the average sulfur content of

coal delivered to the Nation's electric utilities during

1995 declined 7.3 percent to 1.08 percent sulfur by

weight, while the average ash content declined 1.4

percent to 9.23 percent by weight (Table 106). The

average heat content of electric utility coal declined 1

percent to 10,248 Btu per pound.

By comparison, the average heat content of coal

delivered to manufacturing and coke plants during

1995 increased 0.4 percent to 11,367 Btu per pound,

while the average ash content and average sulfur

content of industrial coal remained relatively constant

at 7.61 percent and 1.15 percent, respectively.

1 For 1986, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Daily Productive Capacity.’’ To obtain annual productive capacity for a mine in 1986, each mine’s daily

productive capacity was multiplied by the number of days worked during the year.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

3 Imports for 1992 through 1995 include imports to electric utilities, manufacturing plants and coke plants. Imports for 1986 through 1991 include only

imports to electric utilities.

4 Includes Mexico.

1 For 1986, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Daily Productive Capacity.’’ To obtain annual productive capacity for a mine in 1986, each mine’s daily

productive capacity was multiplied by the number of days worked during the year.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

3 Imports for 1992 through 1995 include imports to electric utilities, manufacturing plants and coke plants. Imports for 1986 through 1991 include only

imports to electric utilities.

4 Includes Mexico. w Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company data. NM Not meaningful as value is greater than 500 percent. NA Not available.

Notes: Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Consumption Total does not include

coal consumed by independent power producers. Totals may not equal sum of components due to independent rounding.

1 For 1986, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Daily Productive Capacity.’’ To obtain annual productive capacity for a mine in 1986, each mine’s daily

productive capacity was multiplied by the number of days worked during the year.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

1 For 1986, the Form EIA-7A solicited data on ‘‘Daily Productive Capacity.’’ To obtain annual productive capacity for a mine in 1986, each mine’s daily

productive capacity was multiplied by the number of days worked during the year.

2 Capacity utilization (percent) is the ratio of total production to annual productive capacity as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A. Productivity (short tons per miner per hour) is calculated by dividing total coal production by the total direct labor hours worked by all employees engaged in production, preparation, processing, development, maintenance, repair, and shop or yard work at mining operations.

Metric Tables

In response to requests from international users of

U.S. coal statistics, certain summary data have been

converted from the customary short tons to metric.

This enables U.S. statistics to be compared with data

published by countries using the metric system. The

conversion to metric tons is made by multiplying

short tons by 0.907185.

The data converted to metric tons are from Tables

ES3, 1, 16, 25, 35, 48, 67, 68, 76, 80, 92, 94, 96, 98,

Notes: Average mine price is calculated by dividing the total free on board (f.o.b.) mine value of the coal produced by the total production. A measure

of dispersion of these average prices at the State level (interquartile range) is given in Appendix D, Table D2. Excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam,

and dredge operations except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide these

data.

Explanatory Notes

Data Sources

All data in this report were collected by the Energy

Information Administration (EIA), U.S. Department

of Energy (DOE), except: import and export data,

which were collected by the Bureau of the Census

(Census Bureau), U.S. Department of Commerce; supplemental export data which were collected by King's

Publishing Corporation, Knoxville, Tennessee;

Federal and Indian land leasing data which were collected by the U.S. Department of the Interior (Bureau

of Land Management and Minerals Management

Service); and miner injury and fatality data which

were collected by the U.S. Department of Labor

(Mine Safety and Health Administration).

Coal Surveys

As early as the 1880's, the U.S. Geological Survey

began collecting coal data under a voluntary reporting

system. The responsibility for gathering this information was transferred to the Bureau of Mines in the

1920's, initially under the U.S. Department of Commerce and later under the U.S. Department of the

Interior, which published the data in its Minerals

Yearbook. Except for a brief period from 1937 to

1943, when bituminous coal data were collected under

the mandatory authority of the Bituminous Coal Act,

the Bureau of Mines continued to conduct voluntary

coal surveys until the Department of Energy was

created.

Coal Production Report (Form EIA-7A)

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) began

collecting annual coal production data on October 1,

1977. The 1995 coal production and identification

data in this report were collected on Form EIA-7A,

"Coal Production Report," from companies that

produced, processed, or prepared coal in 1995. All

other data collected on Form EIA-7A are reported for

only those companies that owned a mining operation

that produced, processed, or prepared 10,000 short

tons or more of coal in 1995 and preparation plants

with 5,000 or more employee hours.

So that the EIA may fulfill its data collection functions as specified in the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-275), response to

this survey is mandatory. EIA compares respondents

to this survey with lists of mining operations maintained by various State coal mining/licensing agencies

and the Mine Safety and Health Administration

(MSHA), U.S. Department of Labor, to identify new

respondents. No sampling procedures are used. In

1995, there were 2,278 mining operations that

produced, processed, or prepared 10,000 or more short

tons of coal. Of these mining operations, 77.6 percent

(1,767) responded to the EIA-7A survey. In 1995,

there were 1,716 mines that produced 10,000 or more

short tons of coal. Of these mines, 70.2 percent

(1,205) responded to the EIA-7A survey; they

accounted for 987 million short tons, or 95.6 percent

of the 1995 production total. All of the data were collected by mail and were edited to ensure that they

were complete and accurate.

As in all surveys, data from Form EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report," are subject to various sources of

error: (1) coverage (the list of respondents may not be

complete or, on the other hand, there may be double

counting), (2) nonresponse (all units that are surveyed

may not respond or may not provide all the information requested), (3) respondents (respondents may

commit errors in reporting the data), (4) processing

(the data collection agency may lose or incorrectly

transcribe the submissions), (5) concept (the data collection elements may not measure the items they were

intended to measure), and (6) adjustment (errors may

be made in estimating values for missing data).

Because the annual coal production survey (Form

EIA-7A) is not a sample survey, the estimates shown

Notes: Coal production excludes silt, culm, refuse bank, slurry dam, and dredge production except for Pennsylvania anthracite. Number of mining operations includes preparation plants. All available State mining agency production data were reviewed, but none were included in this report because production data reported on Form EIA-7A to the Energy Information Administration and on Form 7000-1 to the Mine Safety and Health Administration were

found to be complete. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.

in this report are not subject to sampling error. 1 It is

not possible to present estimates of nonsampling

error, but precautionary steps were taken at each stage

of the survey design to minimize the possible occurrence of these errors. These steps are described below.

The forms are logged within 24 hours of receipt and

assigned to a team of data editors consisting of Coal

Data Systems Branch personnel. The editors screen

the forms for legibility, completeness, and consistency. Names and address changes are updated in the

files. The reported data are compared with data from

previous years and with secondary sources such as

Mine Safety and Health Administration and State

mining agency reports. Inconsistencies are identified

and the respondents contacted for clarification. Computer edits are generated to identify keypunch errors,

errors made by coders, out-of-range codes, and

unlikely data combinations. Errors are corrected to

conform to the data on the submissions or revised

after telephone conversations with company representatives. All changes to reported data are documented.

EIA maintains data from the Form EIA-7A on an

automated database at its computing facility in

Washington, D.C. The survey forms are filed by EIA

identification number organized by State and county.

The survey forms were sent via regular mail in

January with a due date of March 1, 1996. Nonresponse letters were mailed March 8 to those mining

operations that had not submitted their forms. Subsequent to the letter, attempts were made to contact, by

telephone, those nonrespondents whose reported 1994

production was 100,000 short tons or more.

1 Sampling error is a measure of the variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than a complete enumeration of units is

surveyed. 

236 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
Some forms could not be delivered. Where possible,

address corrections were obtained. Some mining operations that had reported in earlier surveys or operated

only in 1995 were no longer in business. Unobtainable

data were derived from a secondary source: the Form

7000-2, "Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report," collected by the Mine Safety and

Health Administration. Missing production quantity

data were derived from the secondary source for 585

mines, which produced 45 million short tons, or 4.4

percent of total production. The received and generated data sources for total U.S. coal production are

shown in Table D1. Of the mines whose production

exceeded 10,000 or more short tons, missing production quantity data were derived from the secondary

source for 511 mines, representing 4.3 percent (44.4

million short tons).

Since 1992, California has not reported coal production as the courts determined that the product

mined in that State did not meet the standard classification for coal.

Missing coalbed classification, coalbed thickness,

and coal rank/group data were estimated using State

mining agency production reports, geological data,

and previous years' reports for these mines.

When a mine had a missing production value, its production was multiplied by the county-level average

mine price to estimate the value. County-level average

mine prices were calculated by dividing the total

value for the appropriate disposition (open/captive)

and type of mining (underground or surface) by the

corresponding total production. All missing production was classified as open market unless information was available to classify it as captive. Of those

mines whose production was 10,000 or more short

tons, value data were estimated for 562 mines, representing 5.2 percent (53.8 million short tons) of the production total.

When an underground mine had unreported mining

method, it was assumed that the mining method was

conventional.

Employment data include direct labor hours, number

of production days worked, average length of a production shift, average number of miners per shift, and

average number of shifts per day. Of those mines

whose production exceeded 10,000 or more short tons,

one or more of these data elements were derived from

secondary sources or estimated for 532 mines representing 4.4 percent (45.2 million short tons) of their

production total. Of the mining operations that

produced, processed, or prepared 10,000 or more short

tons, one or more of these data elements were derived

from secondary sources or estimated for 868 mining

operations, or 38.1 percent of the total operations in

this category.

Missing direct labor hours were estimated using

county-level or State-level productivity-per-hour

averages. The averages were calculated by dividing

the total production at the county or State level by

total direct labor hours at the same level for the

appropriate type of mining (underground or surface).

The quantity of production for the mine with missing

data was divided by this productivity average to

derive direct labor hours.

Missing average number of production days worked 

and length of a production shift were derived by using

the corresponding county-level or State-level average

for the appropriate type of mining (underground or

surface).

Missing average number of miners per shift was estimated as the average number of miners working daily.

The average number of miners working daily was calculated by multiplying the average length of a production shift by the number of production days

worked, and then dividing this number into the total

direct labor hours.

Missing average number of shifts per day was estimated as one shift per day.

Missing recoverable coal reserves data were estimated by using the mine's 1994 recoverable reserves

minus the mine's 1995 production. If this calculation

could not be made, the mine's projected production

for 1996 was used. If recoverable coal reserves for

1994 and 1995 and projected production for 1996

were all missing, no estimate was made. In 1995,

recoverable reserves were reported by or estimated for

1,186 mines, representing 976.9 million short tons, or

69.1 percent of the mines whose production exceeded

10,000 or more short tons.

Missing recovery percentage data were estimated by

using 1995 recovery percentage averages at the State

level for the appropriate type of mining (underground

or surface).

Missing productive capacity data were estimated by

assuming productive capacity was equal to 1995 production. If productive capacity was reported as less

than annual production, productive capacity was

equated to 1995 production. There were 627 in-scope

mines with production of 177.8 million short tons for

which 1995 production was used as a proxy for productive capacity, resulting in 100 percent capacity

utilization.

These mines included the MSHA generated mines,

mines with productive capacity less than 1995 production, and mines that did not report productive

capacity and could not be contacted. If these mines

were excluded from the calculation of percent utilization, the U.S. total becomes 76.13 versus 79.40, when

those mines are included.

In 1995, there were 26 mines that produced 1.2

million short tons of refuse bituminous and

subbituminous coal. Those operations are not included

in this report. In 1995, there were 2.3 million short

tons of anthracite refuse produced and included in this

report. An additional 4 million short tons of anthracite

refuse was recovered and used by nonutility power

producers in Pennsylvania is not included in this

report.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 237 
In order to protect the confidentiality of individual

respondent's data, a policy was implemented to ensure

that the reporting of survey data on mine prices and

recoverable reserves in this publication would not

associate those data with a particular company. The

final phase in the data quality assurance and control

procedures is determining which data must be suppressed (withheld) during publication to provide the

necessary confidentiality for mines or companies that

represent a significant portion of a reported data cell.

All withholding analysis is done based upon production volumes. These procedures are performed as

follows:

1. Primary Withholding Based on the Number of

Respondents in a Cell -- All cells with three or

fewer active coal mining operations are suppressed.

2. Residual Withholding Dominance Rule Phase 1

All cells containing between 4 and 10 active coal

mining operations are examined. A cell is suppressed if any single respondent accounts for 75

percent or more of the volume for all respondents

included in that cell.

3. Residual Withholding Dominance Rule Phase 2

All cells in which two active coal mining operations represent 90 percent or more of the volume

for all respondents included in that cell are suppressed.

4. Complementary Suppression -- All tables are

reviewed to identify cells which should have data

withheld to prevent disclosure of already suppressed cells. An example of cells to be withheld

during complementary suppression is underground

price, if the surface price is withheld during

primary or residual suppression. Because the total

price is published, if the underground price is not

withheld, the surface price could be calculated

using the total price, the underground price, and

the underground, surface, and total volumes.

5. Most complementary suppression involves type of

mining considerations. Other complementary suppression is based on regional level data. A State

or region must be withheld during complementary

suppression because an already withheld State

could be calculated using other States and the

regional total. Cells are also selected for complementary suppression that represent the smallest

volumes or that were withheld in prior years.

6. Inter-table effects are also examined regarding

complementary suppression. For example, States

that are withheld in one State table can influence

the complementary suppression of an associated

State table. This analysis is very similar to that

done at the regional level, except that two tables

are involved rather than one. Finally, similar

tables are reviewed to ensure that all like suppressed cells are consistently withheld (suppressed) in all tables in which they appear.

The withholding/suppression of data is performed as

an adjunct to the quality assurance (QA) procedures.

The work is performed by survey editors, and the QA

staff and is reviewed by the survey manager before

being submitted to division-level QA review.

All sensitive cells identified in withholding analysis

are denoted with the symbol/letter "w." The use of the

symbol/letter applies to primary, complementary and

inter-table suppressions as well as all withheld data.

The symbol/letter "w" is footnoted as follows: "w

Withheld to avoid disclosure of individual company

data."

The interquartile range is a measure of dispersion of

State-level average mine prices. Two States may have

the same average mine price, but the spread about this

price may be totally different. For a fixed average

mine price, a larger interquartile range suggests a

broader distribution of coal prices than a smaller

interquartile range. The summary statistics (Table D2)

given in this publication are weighted by production.

The interquartile range (weighted by production) is

computed in the following manner:

• Each cell is sorted according to average mine

price, from the lowest to the highest.

• For each cell, the corresponding mine's production according to increasing average mine

price is divided by that particular cell's total production and multiplied by 100. These percentages

are then added as a cumulative percentage of production.

• The first quartile (Q1) is the associated mine price

for which the cumulative percentage of production first passes 25 percent. Thus, at least 25

percent of that cell's total production is identified

with prices at or lower than Q1.

• The third quartile (Q3), is the associated mine

price for which the cumulative percentage of production first passes 75 percent. Thus, at least 75

percent of that cell's total production is identified

with prices at or lower than Q3.

The interquartile range is Q3-Q1.

Quarterly Coal Consumption Report -

Manufacturing Plants (Form EIA-3)

Form EIA-3 is used to survey U.S. manufacturers that

consume 1,000 tons or more of coal per year for all

uses other than coke production. These data were collected on a monthly basis until 1980, when the

reporting cycle was revised to a quarterly schedule.

Data on manufacturers' coal stocks, receipts, prices,

and consumption are reported.

Through the end of 1988, all manufacturers that consumed coal were required to file Form EIA-3. Beginning with the first quarter of 1989, only those

manufacturers that consumed 1,000 or more tons in

the past year were required to report. In 1995, 730

manufacturers responded to the EIA-3 survey. The

response rate for the current year was 100 percent. In

order to identify undercoverage problems, the data

from this survey are compared with shipments to

manufacturers reported on EIA's "Coal Distribution

Report," Form EIA-6. At present, the coal receipts

reported by manufacturers on Form EIA-3 cover

approximately 97 percent of the coal shipments to

238 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
manufacturers on Form EIA-6. Consequently, the

coal consumption data gathered on the Form EIA-3 do

not represent the total consumption at manufacTable D2. Interquartile Range and Average Mine Price by State and Mine Type, 1995

turing plants. See Technical Note 5 for data adjustment procedures for coal consumption for the other

industrial sector.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issues of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

The respondent list of manufacturers for Form EIA-3

is compared with lists of coal-consuming manufacturing plants from State Air Quality and Energy

Offices. When new respondents are found, they are

added to the survey mailing list.

Annual Coal Quality Report -

Manufacturing Plants (Form EIA-3A)

Form EIA-3A contains questions on the origin of coal

(State or Country), the quantity of coal receipts, the

Btu, sulfur and ash content of the coal receipts, and

the basis used to determine the coal quality data. The

threshold for the annual collection will be the same as

for the EIA-3: manufacturing plants that consume in

excess of 1,000 short tons of coal per per year. In

1995, 730 manufacturers responded to the EIA-3A

survey. The response rate for the current year was 100

percent.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 239 
Coke Plant Report (Form EIA-5)

Form EIA-5, a quarterly report of coal receipts,

carbonization, and stocks, and of coke and breeze production, distribution, and stocks, is used to survey all

U.S. coke plants.

Coke plants were surveyed monthly and a supplemental survey was taken annually until 1981, when

the reporting cycle was revised to a quarterly schedule

with an annual supplemental survey. In 1985, collection of the annual supplement was ended.

In 1995, there were 28 respondents to the EIA-5

survey, and the response rate was 100 percent. The

respondent list for this survey is updated by continuous monitoring of the industry literature.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issues of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

Annual Coal Quality Report - Coke

Plants (Form EIA-5A)

This form contains questions on the origin of coal

(State or country), the quantity of coal receipts, the

volatile matter, sulfur and ash content, and the basis

used to determine the coal quality data. There is no

threshold for this form. In 1995, there were 28

respondents to the EIA-5A survey, and the response

rate was 100 percent.

Coal Distribution Report (Form EIA-6)

Form EIA-6 is used to survey all U.S. companies

(producers and/or distributors) that own or purchase

and distribute more than 50,000 short tons annually.2

Data on coal production and purchases, distribution

by consumer category, and method of transportation

are reported.

In 1995, there were about 1,100 respondents to the

EIA-6 survey. Until the end of 1988, coal distribution

companies were required to report production on a

Bureau of Mines district basis. For the year 1989,

respondents were required to report on a BOM

district/State basis. Beginning with the first quarter of

1990, respondents were required to report on a State

basis. The response rate for the current quarter was

100 percent. The annual production total reported on

Form EIA-6 exceeds 99 percent of total production as

reported by all mines on Form EIA-7A, "Coal Production Report," due to the difference in reporting

thresholds. The data gathered on the Form EIA-6 only

represent the domestic coal distributed during the

quarter. Therefore, imported coal distributed during

the quarter is not included.

Current year data from this survey are preliminary and

unrevised in the January - March, April - June, and

July - September issued of the Quarterly Coal Report

(DOE/EIA-0121). In the October - December issue,

any revisions necessary for the entire year are applied

and the data are considered final.

The respondent list for this survey is updated by comparing it with lists of coal producers from the Mine

Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), U.S.

Department of Labor, and from similar lists maintained by various State agencies. Also, new respondents are frequently identified on Form EIA-6 itself

when other companies are named as sources of coal

purchases.

Electric Utility Surveys

Coal data appear in this report from three surveys of

electric utilities --from all generating electric utilities

and from fossil-fueled plants.

The Census Bureau collected and published the results

of a census taken every 5 years from 1902 to 1937 on

the electric light and power industries and some data

on industrial production of electric energy. The U.S.

Geological Survey collected data on capacity and generation of electric utilities from 1920 to 1936, when

this activity was turned over to the Federal Power

Commission (FPC).

All data are presented as reported on the surveys. No

estimates or other adjustments are made for missing

data. The data are maintained in a computer system

and are edited to ensure that they are reasonable, consistent, and complete. For additional information from

these surveys and for other electric utility data, see

the EIA publication, Electric Power Monthly

(DOE/EIA-0226).

Monthly Power Plant Report (Form

EIA-759)

Form EIA-759 (which, until 1982, was called FPC

Form 4) is used to survey all generating electric utilities. The Federal Power Act and FPC Order Number

141 define the legislative authority to collect power

production data. Consumption and stocks of coal and

other fuels at each plant are reported. The respondents

to Form EIA-759, approximately 3,000 plants,

account for 100 percent of total electric utility generation.

Current year data from this survey are considered

final.

2 For the States of Arkansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, and the anthracite portion of Pennsylvania, the threshold is 10,000 tons.

240 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
Monthly Report of Cost and Quality of

Fuels for Electric Plants (FERC Form

423)

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Form

423 is used to survey all fossil-fueled plants with a

total steam-generating capacity of 50 megawatts or

more. It is submitted by approximately 230 electric

utilities. (Before 1983, this form was called FPC Form

423, and all fossil-fueled plants with a total generating capacity of 25 megawatts or more were surveyed.) In 1972, the FPC issued Order Number 453,

which included the legislative authority to create

FERC Form 423. Cost, quality, and source of fuels

(by State or country of origin), including coal, are

reported. Current year data from this survey are considered final.

Steam-Electric Plant Operation and

Design Report (Form EIA-767)

The Form EIA-767 is a mandatory restricted-universe

census of all electric power plants with a total

existing or planned organic- or nuclear-fueled steamelectric generator nameplate rating of 10 or more

megawatts. The entire form is filed by approximately

700 power plants with a nameplate capacity of 100 or

more megawatts. An additional 200 power plants with

a nameplate capacity between 10 and 100 megawatts

submit information only on fuel consumption/quality,

boiler/generator configuration, and flue-gas

desulfurization equipment, if applicable. The Form

EIA-767 is used to collect data annually on plant

operations and equipment design (including boiler,

generator, cooling system, flue gas desulfurization,

flue gas particulate collectors, and stack data). Data

from Form EIA-767 are used for economic, regulatory, and environmental analyses conducted by the

DOE, the FERC, the Environmental Protection

Agency, and the Department of Commerce.

Form EIA-767 data for 1995 are preliminary. Data for

prior years are final.

Annual Nonutility Power Producer

Report (Form EIA-867)

The Form EIA-867 is a restricted-universe census

used to collect annual data from all existing and

planned nonutility power producers in the United

States. In 1992, the reporting threshold of the Form

EIA-867 was lowered to include all facilities with a

combined nameplate capacity of 1 or more megawatts.

Previously data were collected every 3 years from

facilities with a nameplate capacity between 1 and 5

megawatts. For the purpose of this data collection, a

nonutility power producer is an enterprise that has

electric generating capacity and is not an electric

utility. They include qualifying cogenerators, qualifying small power producers, and other nonutility

generators (including independent power producers)

without a designated franchised service area. The

form is used to collect data on the installed capacity,

energy consumption, generation, and electric energy

sales to electric utilities from approximately 2,000

facilities.

Form EIA-867, coal consumption data for 1989

through 1995 are: 876, 1600, 6000, 10000, 12344,

15140 and 20800 thousand short tons.

Export and Import Data

Export and import data (except imports to electric

utilities, manufacturing plants and coke plants, which

are reported on the FERC Form 423, EIA-3A, and

EIA-5A, respectively.) are obtained from the Census

Bureau--export data from the monthly EM 545 (formerly EM 522) report, import data from the monthly

IM 145 report. The Census Bureau compiles these

data monthly from documents filed with the U.S.

Customs Service as required by law. They include

shippers' export declaration forms, import entry

forms, and warehouse withdrawal forms. No sampling

procedures are used. The Census Bureau publication

Guide to Foreign Trade Statistics describes the

foreign trade statistics program, including the EM 545

and IM 145 monthly reports. Data from these surveys

are considered final at the time of publication.

Foreign distribution of U.S. coal, major exporting

State, and destination, along with foreign distribution

of metallurgical and steam coal (Tables 62, 63, and

64, respectively), was determined using EIA-6 distribution data by origin State, and coal export data from

King's COALBASE (King Publishing Corporation,

Knoxville, Tennessee) which gives the metallurgical

and steam breakdown as well as the country destination data. The percentage of metallurgical and steam

coal for each country of destination are applied to the

EIA-6 export figures for each State of origin to derive

coal distribution data that link State of origin to countries of destination by type of coal. The King's destination country data are considered to be more

accurate than the Census country-of-destination data

because it account for transhipments through intermediate countries to final destination countries, whereas

the Census data would designate the destination as the

intermediate country.

Copies of the survey forms and instructions used to

collect data appearing in this publication can be

obtained by calling EIA's National Energy Information Center at (202) 586-8800.

Technical Notes

1. Differences in Related Coal

Data

Coal Production versus Coal Distribution. Coal production represents newly mined coal. Coal distribution represents shipments of newly mined coal and

coal from producer/distributor stockpiles (previously

mined coal).

Coal Distribution versus Coal Receipts. Differences

in coal distribution data and coal receipts data are due

to the time lag between distribution and receipt of

coal shipments, and due to the survey threshold differences. In addition, coal distributed includes only

domestic coal, whereas receipts include imported

coal.

Foreign Distribution of U.S. Coal versus U.S. Coal

Exports. Foreign distribution of U.S. coal does not

equal U.S. coal exports because there are differences

in reporting time and survey thresholds.

Receipts of Imported Coal versus U.S. Coal Imports.

Receipts of imported coal at electric utilities and manufacturing and coke plants does not equal U.S. coal

imports due to reporting time differences. In addition,

it does not include receipts at independent power producers.

2. Other Industrial Plants and

Manufacturing

The other industrial plants end-use sector includes

the manufacturing, agriculture, forestry and fishing,

mining, and construction industries. Manufacturing

accounts for approximately 97 percent of the coal

receipts and consumption and 100 percent of the coal

stocks in the other industrial plants sector as reported

herein. Data sources for the other industrial plants

sector and the manufacturing sector are Forms EIA-6

and EIA-3, respectively. The source statement in each

table identifies the survey used to collect coal data for

the other industrial plants sector, and the following

technical notes describe the methodology used when

data were derived.

3. Residential and

Commercial

To reduce the reporting burden to coal users, the EIA

does not conduct any survey of coal data from residential and commercial users of coal. Shipments of

coal to this sector, reported by producers and distributors of coal on Form EIA-6, are equated to coal

receipts and consumption by the residential and commercial sector, assuming no stock changes.

4. Consumer Prices

Prices are derived for each end-use sector as follows:

Electric Utilities. Prices are reported for each plant in

cents-per-million Btu on FERC Form 423. The price

per ton of coal is calculated at each plant using centsper-million Btu and the average Btu content per pound

of coal for the appropriate rank of coal. The average

prices appearing in the tables (e.g., across all States)

are calculated by summing the dollar value at each

plant (short tons of coal multiplied by price per short

ton) and dividing by the corresponding total tons. For

more information about prices of coal at electric utilities, see the EIA publication, Electric Power Monthly

(DOE/EIA-0226).

Coke Plants. Respondents are asked to report the

number of tons of coal received (or coke distributed)

on Form EIA-5 and the total value of that coal (or

coke) in dollars. Average prices are calculated by

summing the reported values (e.g., across all States)

and dividing by the corresponding total tons.

Other Industrial Plants. Respondents (manufacturing

plants only) are asked to report the number of tons of

coal received on Form EIA-3 and the total value of

that coal in dollars. Average prices are calculated by

summing the reported values across all States and

dividing by the corresponding total tons.

Residential and Commercial. Data are not collected.

See Technical Note 3.

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 243 
5. Consumption

Annual Data

Annual coal consumption data are sums of quarterly

or monthly data described below except for nonutility

power producers whose coal consumption is not

included in this report. These data are however,

reported on Form EIA-867 and published in the Electric Power Annual (DOE/EIA-0348).

Electric Utilities. Consumption is reported on Form

EIA-759.

Nonutility Electric Generating Facilities. Consumption is reported on Form EIA-867.

Coke Plants. Consumption is reported on Form

EIA-5.

Other Industrial Plants. In deriving a quarterly estimate for coal consumption for the other industrial

plants sector, the first step is to equate consumption

to beginning stocks plus receipts minus ending stocks.

In terms of an equation, consumption can be

expressed as C = Sb + R - Se, where Sb = beginning

stocks, R = receipts, and Se = ending stocks.

Therefore, consumption is C = (Sb - Se (change in

stocks)) + R. Next, stock change at the State level is

equated to the stock change for that State as reported

on Form EIA-3, receipts at the State level are derived

as described in Section 3, and a computed consumption is derived using the same equation for each State.

Finally, the quarterly consumption (C) at the State

level is equated to the maximum of the computed consumption at the State level, as previously described,

and the quarterly consumption for that State as

reported on Form EIA-3. This process ensures that

State-level consumption for the other industrial

plants sector is always greater than or equal to the

manufacturing sector consumption for that State.

Total quarterly consumption for the other industrial

plants sector is computed by summing the quarterly

State-level consumption figures.

Residential and Commercial. Shipments to the residential and commercial sector as reported on Form

EIA-6 are defined as consumption as well as receipts

for this end-use sector.

EIA publishes monthly estimates of coal consumption

in the Monthly Energy Review (DOE/EIA-0035).

Monthly coal consumption at electric utility plants is

derived directly from Form EIA-759. Prior to 1980,

monthly coal consumption at coke plants was derived

directly from Form EIA-5. For 1981 through 1987, it

was derived from the quarterly coal consumption

reported on Form EIA-5, using the ratios of monthly

to quarterly consumption in 1979, the last year that

coke plant data were collected monthly on Form

EIA-5. These ratios by month (January - December)

are 0.3377, 0.3200, 0.3423; 0.3529, 0.3462, 0.3009;

0.3364, 0.3347, 0.3289; and 0.3273, 0.3301, 0.3426.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption at coke

plants is derived from quarterly coal consumption

reported on Form EIA-5, using ratios derived from

monthly data on raw steel production published by the

American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) on Form

AIS7. The ratio is the proportion of monthly raw steel

production from open hearth and basic oxygen process

furnaces to the quarterly raw steel production from

those furnace types.

Prior to 1978, coal consumption for the other industrial plants sector (i.e., industrial users minus coke

plants) was derived by using monthly data reported on

Form EIA-3 to modify baseline coal consumption

figures from the most recent Census of Manufactures

or Annual Survey of Manufactures, Bureau of the

Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. For 1978

through 1987, data from Forms EIA-3 and EIA-6 are

used to compute monthly coal consumption for the

other industrial plants sector.

Given the quarterly consumption for the other industrial plants sector (C), the monthly consumption for

the sector (Cm) is estimated for each month in the

quarter as Cm = (Cm3/C3) x C where Cm3/C3 is the

ratio of monthly to quarterly coal consumption as

reported on Form EIA-3. For the 1978 coal consumption figures, the ratios used are based on 1978 EIA-3

data. For 1979 through 1987, the ratios used are based

on the 1979 EIA-3 data. These 1979 ratios by month

(January - December) are 0.3593, 0.3264, 0.3143;

0.3485, 0.3332, 0.3183; 0.3317, 0.3407, 0.3276; and

0.3045, 0.3253, 0.3702.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption for the

other industrial plants sector is derived from quarterly

coal consumption reported on Form EIA-3 using

monthly ratios derived from the industrial production

indices published by the Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System. Six major industry groups'

indices are used as the basis for calculating the

monthly ratios. These groups are foods (Standard

Industrial Classification (SIC) 20), paper and products

(SIC 26), chemicals and products (SIC 28), petroleum

products (SIC 29), clay, glass, stone products (SIC

32), and primary metals (SIC 33).

The monthly ratios are computed as the monthly sum

of weighted indices as a proportion of the quarterly

sum of weighted indices, using the 1985 proportion as

the weight.

Prior to 1980, monthly coal consumption for the residential and commercial sector was derived by using

monthly data reported on Form EIA-2, "Monthly Coal

Report -- Retail Dealers and Upper Lake Docks," to

modify baseline coal consumption figures developed

by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.

For 1980, the quarterly coal consumption figures in

the residential and commercial sector are converted

to monthly coal consumption figures using the ratios

of monthly to quarterly coal deliveries to this sector

in 1979 as reported on Form EIA-2. These 1979 ratios

by month (January-December) are 0.4002, 0.3502,

244 Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995
0.2496; 0.4805, 0.2901, 0.2294; 0.3126, 0.2952,

0.3922; and 0.2931, 0.3101, 0.3968. The 1981 and

1982 monthly coal consumption figures were derived

using the 1979 ratios but were also modified

according to heating/cooling degree-days. For 1983

through 1987, coal consumption figures are converted

to monthly coal consumption figures using only the

ratios of monthly to quarterly coal deliveries to this

sector in 1979.

Starting with 1988, monthly coal consumption figures

are derived using the monthly national average population weighted heating/cooling degree-days obtained

from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ratio is the proportion of the monthly

national sum of heating and cooling degree-days to

the quarterly sum.

6. Stocks

Annual stocks are calculated at the end of the year or

the end of the fourth quarter. Coal stocks are derived

for each end-use sector as follows:

Electric Utilities. Stocks are reported on Form

EIA-759.

Coke Plants. Stocks are reported on Form EIA-5.

Other Industrial Plants. Stocks are reported on Form

EIA-3, i.e., stocks at manufacturing plants only.

Technical Note 2 discusses the difference between

other industrial plants and manufacturing plants.

Residential and Commercial. Data are not available.

See Technical Note 3.

Producer and Distributor. Stocks are reported on

Form EIA-6.

7. Methods of Transportation

truck.

Tramway, Conveyor, or Slurry Pipeline: Shipments

of coal moved to consumers by tramway, conveyor, or

slurry pipeline.

8. Census Export and Import

Data

Export and import data are obtained from the Bureau

of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, where

they are compiled monthly from documents filed with

the U.S. Customs Service, as required by law.

Each coal shipment is reported in short tons with corresponding total dollar values. EIA converts all value

data obtained from the Census Bureau to average

price data by dividing the dollar value by the quantity.

Based on an analysis and sample validation of the

Census Bureau import and export data conducted by

the EIA, it was determined that some of the coal and

coke data collected from the Census Bureau may be

misleading or incorrect (particularly those data associEnergy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 245 
ated with very small quantities or very high prices).

Because of this, a methodology was developed to edit

the Census Bureau price data.

Prior to 1989, certain data cells had been suppressed

for publication purposes only: (1) average import coal

prices of $50.00 or more per short ton; (2) average

export coal prices of $60.00 or more per short ton; (3)

average coke prices of $200.00 or more per short ton;

(4) all percent changes of 500 percent or more.

Beginning with 1989, coal export data were categorized as metallurgical coal and steam coal, rather than

as bituminous steam coal, lignite, anthracite, and

bituminous metallurgical coal.

In addition, coal export tables were revised to present

those countries to which the United States exported

more than 50,000 short tons in the prior calendar year.

The remaining countries in each continent were aggregated in an "other" category. This reduces the number

of empty cells and highlights the major importers of

U.S. coal. All coke export and import, and coal import

countries and quantities are displayed.

The following methodology was used to derive the

typical average prices as presented in the price tables.

For all coal, a price distribution was derived from the

prior calendar year export price data. Since extreme

price variations in the Census Bureau data are the

exception rather than the rule, the price distribution

was used to identify a typical price range. The price

distribution, from low to high, along with the frequency of each price (quantity) was analyzed to determine the representative prices. The extreme prices at

both ends of the distribution were eliminated to arrive

at a price range that covered at least 90 percent of the

exports. This price range was considered to include

typical or representative prices. Considering the

records that fell within the typical price range, the

weighted average price was calculated by country of

destination and type of coal.

The same procedure was used to determine the typical

average prices of coal imports. In addition to the

average prices based on the above methodology, a

U.S. total row is presented in the price tables, which

represents the average price using all the Census

Bureau data.

For reporting purposes, the month of exportation

reflects the month in which the shipment leaves the

United States. The month of importation generally is

based on the month in which the U.S. Customs

Service releases the merchandise to the importer. For

both sets of data, however, there can exist a small

carry-over from the actual month of exportation or

importation to a subsequent month, usually the succeeding month. A number of factors in processing

account for this, e.g., late receipt of a document for an

end-of-month shipment, or rejection of a shipment by

the computer due to failure to meet established edit

criteria. These limitations should be considered when

making comparisons.

Based on the U.S. - Canada Free Trade Agreement, as

of January 1990, the U.S. Department of Commerce

began reporting statistics on U.S. exports to Canada

based on information on imports provided monthly by

the Canadian government.

Comparing Census reported imported coal figures in

Table 34 with EIA reported imported coal receipts at

electric utilities, manufacturers, and coke plants for

1994 shows a difference of about 1.8 million short

tons. The main reason for this is that the EIA receipts

data do not cover imported coal received by nonutility

power producers who are not in the manufacturing

sector.

9. Revisions

All data published in this report are considered final.

The Office of Coal, Nuclear, Electric and Alternate

Fuels has adopted the following policy with respect to

the revision and correction of recurrent data in energy

publications:

1. Annual survey data collected by this office are published either as preliminary or final when first

appearing in a data report. Data initially released as

preliminary will be so noted in the report. These data

will be revised, if necessary, and declared final in the

next publication of the data.

2. All monthly and quarterly survey data collected by

this office are published as preliminary. These data

are revised only after the completion of the 12-month

cycle of the data. No revisions are made to the published data before this.

3. After data are published as final, corrections will

be made only in the event of a greater than one

percent difference at the national level. Corrections

for differences that are less than the 1-percent

threshold are left to the discretion of the Office

Director.

10. Price Data and Taxes

F.O.B. mine coal prices and prices of coal delivered

to or received by end-use consumers (electric utility

plants, manufacturing plants, and coke plants) as

reported in this publication include relevant local,

State and Federal excise and sales taxes.

Glossary

Agglomerating Character: Agglomeration describes

the caking properties of coal. Agglomerating character

is determined by examination and testing of the

residue when a small powdered sample is heated to

950 degrees centigrade under specified conditions. If

the sample is "agglomerating," the residue will be

coherent, show swelling or cell structure, and be

capable of supporting a 500-gram weight without

pulverizing.

Anthracite: A hard, black lustrous coal, often

referred to as hard coal, containing a high percentage

of fixed carbon and a low percentage of volatile

matter. Comprises three groups classified according to

mineral-matter-free (mmf) basis:

Fixed

Carbon Volatile

Limits Matter

GE LT GT LE

Meta-Anthracite 98 - - 2

Anthracite 92 98 2 8

Semianthracite 86 92 8 14

GE = Greater than or equal to

LT = Less than

GT = Greater than

LE = Less than or equal to

Anthracite coal is non-agglomerating.

If agglomerating, semianthracite is

classified in the low-volatile group

of the bituminous class.

Ash: Impurities consisting of silica, iron, alumina,

and other incombustible matter that are contained in

coal. Ash increases the weight of coal, adds to the

cost of handling, and can affect the burning characteristics. Ash content is measured as a percent by weight

of coal on an "as received" or a "dry" (moisture-free,

usually part of a laboratory analysis) basis.

Auger Mine: A surface mine where coal is recovered

through the use of a large-diameter drill driven into a

coalbed in a hillside. It usually follows contour

surface mining, particularly when the overburden is

too costly to excavate.

product of the average production per miner per hour

at a mining operation and the average length of a production shift at the operation.

Average Production per Miner per Hour: The ratio

of the total production at a mining operation to the

total direct labor hours worked at the operation.

Average Production per Miner per Shift: Calculated by multiplying average production per miner per

hour by the average length of a miner shift.

Average Quality of Coal: Refers to individual measurements such as heat value, fixed cabon, moisture,

ash, sulfur, phosphorus, major, minor, and trace elements, coking properties, petrologic properties, and

particular organic constituents. The individual quality

elements may be aggregated in various ways to classify coal for such special purposes as metallurgical,

gas, petrochemical, and blending usages.

Average Recovery Percentage: Average recovery

percentage represents the percentage of coal that can

be recovered from coal reserves at reporting mines,

averaged for all mines in the reported geographic

area.

Bituminous Coal: The most common coal. It is

dense and black (often with well-defined bands of

Energy Information Administration/ Coal Industry Annual 1995 249 
bright and dull material). Its moisture content is

usually less than 20 percent. It is used for generating

electricity, making coke, and for space heating. Comprises five groups classified according to ASTM

Specification D-388-91a, on a dry mineral-matter-free

mmf basis for fixed-carbon and volatile matter and a

moist mmf basis for calorific value. Coals having 69

percent or more fixed carbon on the dry, mineralmatter-free basis shall be classified according to fixed

carbon, regardless of calorific (heating) value. Highvolatile C bituminous coal is agglomerating, but other

bituminous coals are commonly agglomerating.

However, it is recognized that there may be

nonagglomerating varieties in these groups of the

bituminous class, and there are notable exceptions in

the high-volatile C bituminous group. Coals with less

than 69 percent fixed carbon, but with 14,000 or more

Btu per pound, are classified as high-volatile A

bituminous.

Coal Rank/Group: A classification of coal based on

fixed carbon, volatile matter, calorific (heating) value,

and agglomerating character. Coal is ranked progressively from lignite (least carbonaceous) to anthracite

(most carbonaceous). The rank of coal can also determined by measuring the reflectance of vitrinite, one of

several organic components of coal. The lower rank

coal can be classified based on heat content. The heat

content of the higher rank coals is generally above 14

thousand Btu per pound for each coal rank group

(except for meta-anthracite, which trends slightly

lower), and heat content ranges vary within a relatively narrow range. Since heat content is not a

dependable criterion for these higher rank coals, their

rank categories are instead described by degree of

metamorphism, or "coalification," a property that is

measured by fixed carbon content. Finally, the

agglomerating character of bituminous coals is a critical attribute for certain coal consumers, and thus

agglomerating character has come to define the distinctions between certain adjacent coal groups. Some

high-volatile C bituminous and subbituminous A coals

can be distinguished only on the basis of

agglomerating character. Percentages are based on dry

mineral-matter-free coal. Volatile matter (not shown)

is the complement of fixed carbon; that is, the percentages of fixed carbon and volatile matter sum to

100 percent. As fixed carbon percentage decreases,

therefore, volatile matter percentage increases by the

same amount.

produce electric energy and "another form of useful

thermal energy through the sequencial use of energy,"

and meet certain ownership, operating, and efficiency

criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission (FERC). (See the Code of Federal Regulation, Title 18, Part 292.)

Coke (coal): In general, coke is made from

bituminous coal (or blends of bituminous coal) from

which the volatile constituents are driven off by

baking in an oven at temperatures as high as 2,000

degrees Fahrenheit, so that the fixed carbon and ash

are fused together. Coke is hard and porous, has a

gray, submetallic luster, and is strong enough to

support a load of iron ore in a blast furnace. It is used

both as a fuel and a reducing agent in smelting iron

ore in a blast furnace. Coke has a heating value of

24.8 million Btu per short ton.

Coke Plants: Plants where coal is carbonized in slot

or beehive ovens for the manufacture of coke.

Continuous Mining: A form of room-and-pillar

mining in which a continuous mining machine

"delivered" purchase in that the buyer accepts the

quantity as determined at the loading port (as certified

by the Bill of Loading and Quality Report) rather than

pay on the basis of the quantity and quality ascertained at the unloading port. It is similar to the terms

of an F.O.B. sale, except that the seller, as a service

for which he is compensated, arranges for transportation and insurance.

the original plant materials that formed the coal, or

from extraneous sources such as sediments and precipitates from mineralized water is called the mineral

matter. Mineral matter in coal cannot be analytically

determined and is commonly calculated using data on

ash and ash-forming constituents. Coal analyses are

calculated to the mineral-matter-free basis by

adjusting formulas used in calculations in order to

deduct the weight of mineral matter from the total

coal.

Moist (Coal) Basis: "Moist" coal contains its natural

inherent or bed moisture, but does not include water

adhering to the surface. Coal analyses expressed on a

moist basis are performed or adjusted so as to

describe the data when the coal contains only that

moisture which exists in the bed in its natural state of

deposition, and when the coal has not lost any

moisture due to drying.

Number of Mining Operations: The number of

mining operations includes preparation plants with

greater than 5,000 total direct labor hours. Mining

operations that consist of a mine and preparation plant

or a preparation plant only will be counted as two

royalty rate increases by steps as the average production on the lease increases. A sliding-scale royalty

rate is based on average production and applies to all

production from the lease.
