What is the 'Coal authority managed tips' consideration?
Tip means an accumulation or deposit of any refuse from a mine (whether in a solid or liquid state or in solution or suspension) other than an accumulation or deposit situated underground and includes, but is not limited to:
- overburden dumps, backfill, spoil heaps, stock piles and lagoons
- any wall or other structure that retains or confines a tip
The specification and supervision of maintenance and remedial works on our disused tip sites, including regular inspections, is carried out by Coal Authority staff, supported by specialist consultants when required.
The Coal Authority has determined that tips which they own, although classified as disused tips, shall be inspected and managed to a standard not less than that required under legislation for closed tips by regulations 17 (1) and (2) and regulation 18 of the Mines and Quarries (Tips) Regulations 1971.
