Interstate Mining Compact Commission

For decades, states have effectively regulated mining impacts in accordance with federal and state laws.  These laws strike a balance between society's needs for the goods and energy produced from solid minerals and the need for protection of people and the environment.
​
The IMCC is a multi-state governmental organization supporting the natural resource and related environmental protection and mine safety and health interests of its member states.

State Abandoned Mine Land Programs Eliminate Real Hazards for Residents of the Coalfields

Congress established the Abandoned Mine Land Program in 1977 to eliminate the impacts of mining that was conducted before the modern regulatory program was adopted.  The funding for this program will expire in 2021, leaving many of these hazards unaddressed.  For more information on this issue visit Our Work's Not Done! and read the National Association of Abandoned Mine Land Programs Accomplishment Report.
