The Coal Authority

The Coal Authority was established by Parliament in 1994 to undertake specific statutory responsibilities associated with: licensing coal mining operations in Britain; handling subsidence damage claims which are not the responsibility of licensed coalmine operators; dealing with property and historic liability issues, such as treatment of mine water discharges; providing public access to information on past and present coal mining operations. Its powers were extended in 2011 in order to enable the Authority to deal with mine water pollution and subsidence remediation from metal mines when the necessary funding is made available.
