Abstract
Surface resource constraints that may limit the rate or scale of coal development in a 63 county area of North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota are analyzed. The constraints analyzed are imposed on coal development as a result of considering other resource values. These include; (1) statutory constraints; (2) constraints imposed by society as a result of attitude, tradition, social and economic standards, personal taste, and desires; (3) constraints imposed by and subject to limitations of natural processes involving both physical and biological phenomena; and (4) constraints resulting from a lack of knowledge needed to address particular problems. The purpose is to describe various constraints that would affect the rate and scale of coal extraction and conversion of coal to other energy forms.
