In coal mining: Shovels and trucks. Overburden removal is the most important operation in the system. When the haul distances are small (for example, 500 to 1,000 metres) and the overburden material soft, a fleet of scrapers can load, haul, and dump the overburden.
ContactOverburden and coal removal have one source, stream loss and burial, which in turn have one proximate stressor, decreasing stream habitat which leads to decreasing quality and quantity of aquatic communities as the response. Overburden handling has two sources, valley fill and backstacks.
ContactOverburden Removal Overburden (also called spoil or waste) is the topsoil lying above the minerals being mined. The overburden is removed and stockpiled for return to the mine pit when mining
ContactIn mining, overburden (also called waste or spoil) is the material that lies above an area that lends itself to economical exploitation, such as the rock, soil, and ecosystem that lies above a coal seam or ore body. Overburden is distinct from tailings, the material that remains after economically valuable components have been extracted from the generally finely milled ore. Overburden is removed during surface mining, but is typically not contaminated with toxic components. Overburden may also be used to restore an ex

ContactThe main operation of surface coal mining is basically removal of topsoil and overburden in order to extract the coal. If the overburden rock contains a significant amount of reactive sulfide mineral rather than alkali mineral, severe acid mine drainage (AMD) is likely to occur when it is exposed and reacts with oxygen and water.
ContactMay 31, 2020 Coal quality deteriorates when stacked at yards and is prone to fire when stocked for long, leading to heavy losses. Overburden removal increases mine stability and is necessary for ramping up production at open cast mines which accounts for 95% of the company’s production.
ContactMaterial blasted, scooped, and bulldozed off the coal seams is called “spoil” or “overburden” in the mining industry. That overburden is pushed into adjacent valleys. Massive constructed terraces of the fill material (the shattered remains of an ancient mountain) cover what had previously been in those valleys, the headwater streams of
