Coal Authority: Past and Current Mining Data (3rd Party Data)

The Coal Authority (CA) works to resolve the impacts of mining, by managing the effects of past coal mining and dealing with mine water pollution and other mining legacy issues. This spatial dataset provided to Natural Resources Wales by the CA under and Open Government Licence, is available through a Web Mapping Service to enable analysis of data. The datasets are provide in raster format and does not include full vector information. Datasets available via WMS include: - Mine Entry - Abandoned Mines Catalogue - Development High Risk Area - Surface Coal Resource Areas - Mine Entry Potential Zone of Influence - Fissures and Breaklines - Surface Mining (Past and Current) - Past Shallow Coal Mine Workings - Coal Outcrops - NE Mining & Groundwater Constraints - Coal Mining Reporting Area
