necessarily sum. Calculated separately to avoid double
counting of overlapping restrictions. Note: 1. Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding. 2. The figure above are all deep coal resources. No technologic restrictions were applicable to surface coal resources in the Vansant quadrangle. |
