This data set contains areas that have been designated Unsuitable for Mining. The Unsuitable for Mining (UFM) Program operates in response to formal petitions being submitted to the Department by a person, business concern, environmental organization, local or state government agency, or any other public agency or citizen organization. A UFM petition is a written request with supporting technical documentation which formally asks the Department to consider designating a particular area as unsuitable for surface coal mining operations, or to have a previous designation terminated (revoked). If a petition is complete and is determined to have merit, the Department will then conduct a technical review, provide for public participation through notifications and public hearings, and make a recommendation to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) for possible rulemaking. Regulations related to the UFM program can be found in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 86, Subchapter D.
