Opencast mining is regarded as one of the most dramatic disturbances in terrestrial ecosystems. Opencast coal mining leads to the destruction of local ecological environment and the loss of natural conditions (Milder et al. 2013 ).
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The opencast coal mining technique is used in areas were the coal reserves are scattered in shallow and thin seams and cannot be extracted by deep mining methods (Beynon et al., 2000). The opencast process starts with exploration activities to identify where there are deposits of coal and what is the depth of the seams.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The last operating opencast mine in the UK, which produces around twothirds of the country's coal, has closed amid concerns that it could be left abandoned. The FfosyFran pit in Merthyr Tydfil has produced nearly million tonnes of coal since opening in 2008, and is responsible for 86% of the UK's total coal output.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country. It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries. India ranks third in coal production. However, the country has to import coal in order to meet the rising demand for coal. In India, coal mining is conducted using two methods: underground and opencast methods.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Methods of extraction Coal extraction methods vary depending on whether the mine is an underground mine or a surface (also called open cast) mine. Additionally, coal seam thickness and geology are factors in the selection of a mining method. The most economical method of coal extraction for surface mines is the electric shovel or drag line.
