Description The effects of underground coal-mining-related land subsidence on overlying hydrologic systems generally are complex and poorly understood, particularly when the depth of overburden is shallow (less than 500 ft). From 1988 to 1992, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining (UDOGM), studied the effects of underground coal mining and the resulting land subsidence on the hydrologic system near the North Fork...
