Coal Development High Risk Area

The Development High Risk Area is the part of the coal mining reporting area which contains one or more recorded coal mining related features at surface or shallow depth. These features pose a potential risk to surface stability and public safety. The combination of features included in this composite area includes mine entries; shallow coal workings (recorded and probable); recorded coal mining related hazards; recorded mine gas sites; fissures and breaklines and previous surface mining sites. New development proposals in this defined area should be supported by a Coal Mining Risk Assessment in order to demonstrate that the development will be safe and stable, taking full account of former coal mining activities. This area was formally known as the Development Referral Area.

高风险开发区域系指煤炭开采报告区域内包含一个或多个已记录的煤炭开采相关特征的地面或浅层区域。这些特征对地表稳定性和公共安全构成潜在威胁。该复合区域所包含的特征组合包括矿井入口；浅层煤炭开采（已记录及可能存在）；记录的煤炭开采相关危害；记录的矿井瓦斯地点；裂缝和断裂线以及既往地表开采地点。在此界定区域内的新开发提案应附有煤炭开采风险评估，以证明开发活动将安全稳定，充分考虑先前的煤炭开采活动。该区域曾正式称为开发推荐区域。
