While in operation, underground coal mines are dewatered to allow for workers to extract coal. When a mine is not maintained, it naturally floods with surface and groundwater. Because coal mines can extend hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of feet underground, the water that naturally floods coal mines is warm enough to use in geothermal systems.
Some underground mines are thousands of feet deep, with tunnels that may extend out from the vertical mine shafts for miles. Access to these mines is limited, requiring miners to travel by elevator and mine train to dig for coal. Surface mines make up about two-thirds of the nation''s 548 mines. Surface mining is less labor intensive and ...
