for more than 90% of the total coal produced in India. In opencast mining, first overburden (soil and rock lying above the coal seam) is removed to access the coal seam. Once the coal seam is exposed, it is mined out and overburden is backfilled in the mined-out area. The excess overburden is stacked near pit boundaries as external dumps.

STUDY OF STABILITY OF OVERBURDEN DUMPS MIXED …
According to MoEF guidelines, any mine situated within 50 km from a power plant must use at least 25% flyash as its backfill material. In this project the stability of overburden dumps mixed with fly ash at KTK opencast mine of SCCL was studied. Samples of overburden and fly ash were collected from KTK mine and APGENCO, Chelpur respectively.
FF8 - Opencast Mining - National Mining Museum
Opencast mining is an efficient method of getting coal from seams too thin or shallow to be worked safely and economically by underground mining. Opencast, as it is today, started in Britain in 1942 as an emergency measure during the Second World War. In 1952 the National Coal Board took over opencast operations.

Coaltech 2020 Task 1.4 - Geotechnical factors affecting ...
weathered overburden and low-wall spoil piles. Geological and geotechnical field investigations were conducted at two operating opencast coal mines - New Vaal Colliery and Wonderwater Strip Mine. The two mines are situated in differing geological and geotechnical environments, yet the controls on highwall stability are the same at both sites.

are removed before extraction of coal. This overburden is dumped on surface, preferably on mined-out or decoaled area. Therefore, this type of mining requires quite large area on surface. Many a times, large forest areas are transferred for coal mining purpose. The land degradation is the result of creation and expansion of opencast coal mines.

Mining and opencast mining in particular affect all components of ecosystems (Bradshaw, 1997).During opencast mining, material overlying the mined minerals, called overburden, is excavated and deposited in a heap. This heap can be located either inside the mine pit (an internal heap) or outside (an external heap).
