CRA has provided cultural resource support to the mining industry for more than three decades, working with a wide variety of large-scale producers, regional exploratory companies, and localized producers across the country, from the Appalachian Region and Illinois Basin to the Rocky Mountain West. We are well-versed in the complex, industrial geographies associated with mining infrastructure and routinely assist the coal industry with regulatory requirements for everything from exploratory drills, to new surface and deep mines, to boundary amendments and revisions, to processing, storage, and transportation facilities. We also regularly support the development of hard rock mines and construction materials mines and related infrastructure, as well as abandoned mine lands programs.

CRA’s team is well-versed in the complex, industrial geographies associated with mining infrastructure and maintains OSHA and MSHA compliance backed by an impeccable safety record. Most importantly, we recognize the critical importance of efficient project planning and take pride in working alongside our clients to design sensible project approaches, effectively meet regulatory challenges, and keep projects moving forward through the permitting process. Our track record with the mining industry has led us to be the contractor of choice for producers across the country.
