<p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>This geospatial dataset identifies U.S. census tracts and directly adjoining tracts that have had coal mine closures since 1999 or coal-fired electric generating unit retirements since 2009. These census tracts qualify as energy communities.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>Additional information on energy communities and related tax credits can be accessed on the Interagency Working Group on Coal & Power Plant Communities & Economic Revitalization Energy Communities website (<a href='https://energycommunities.gov/energy-community-tax-credit-bonus/' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;'>https://energycommunities.gov/energy-community-tax-credit-bonus/</a>).</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>In relation to the data, a coal mine is identified for purposes of the energy community credit bonus if it is or has been in the Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA’s) “Mines” data set after Dec. 31, 1999. Mines for the energy community credit bonus are those with a type of “Surface” or “Underground.”</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>A mine will be identified as “closed” if after Dec. 31, 1999 it has ever been listed in MSHA’s Mines dataset as having a status of “Abandoned” or “Abandoned and Sealed.” The definition of “mine status” can be found on pages 3-4 of the Instructions for Completing the Mine Information Form (MSHA 2000-209). The map showing the census tracts that have had coal mine closures since 1999 and census tracts directly adjoining to such census tracts is based on MSHA’s Mines dataset as of Feb. 7, 2023. Historical versions of MSHA’s Mines dataset are also used to identify mines that have ever had, since Dec. 31, 1999, a status of “Abandoned” or “Abandoned and Sealed.”</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>An electric generating unit is identified according to its presence in the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Electric Generator Inventory data from Form EIA-860, supplemented with Monthly Electric Generator Inventory from EIA-860M.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>Data from forms EIA-860 and EIA-860M provide listings of retirements. An electric generating unit is considered a retired coal-fired electric generating unit if it is classified as retired at any time since December 31, 2009, and at the time of being listed as retired is characterized as a coal-fired electric generating unit.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>An electric generating unit is characterized as “coal-fired” based on the available data for past years. For years 2014 to 2022, coal-fired electric generating units are those listed in EIA Form 860M or EIA Form 860 data as having a “Technology” of “Conventional Steam Coal” or “Coal Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle.” For years 2010 to 2013, coal-fired electric generating units are those listed in EIA Form 860 data as having a primary fuel source code of anthracite coal, bituminous coal, lignite coal, refined coal, coal-derived synthesis gas, subbituminous coal, and waste/other coal.</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>Links to these data resources, as well as FAQs regarding these data can be found on the Interagency Working Group on Coal & Power Plant Communities & Economic Revitalization Energy Communities website (<a href='https://energycommunities.gov/energy-community-tax-credit-bonus/' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;'>https://energycommunities.gov/energy-community-tax-credit-bonus/</a>).</p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:"Avenir Next W01", "Avenir Next W00", "Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;'>To access these data, you can download these resources in shapefile, csv, and xlsx file formats from NETL's Energy Data eXchange (EDX) here: <a href='https://edx.netl.doe.gov/dataset/ira-energy-community-data-layers' rel='nofollow ugc' style='color:rgb(0, 121, 193); text-decoration-line:none; font-family:inherit;' target='_blank'>https://edx.netl.doe.gov/dataset/ira-energy-community-data-layers</a>. <br /></p> |
