Note:  · Productive capacity is the maximum amount of coal that can be produced annually as reported by mining companies on Form EIA-7A.  Excludes mines producing less than 10,000 short tons, which are not required to provide data and refuse recovery.  Totals may not equal sum of components because of independent rounding.
