dc.description.abstractCoal mining has been carried on in the Cascade Coal Area, which includes part of Banff National Park and the Rocky Mountain Forest Reserve, since 1881. For many years this was the only major activity in the area, and there was little concern with land use conflicts. Since the early 1900's, there has been a variable, but generally increasing, regulation of coal mining to minimize land use problems created by coal mining. However, critical examination of the effects of these regulations, as applied, reveals serious defects, which have persisted to the present. Recent developments indicate that coal production from the area will increase. Most future production will probably be by strip mining, increasing the potential for land use and other conflicts. The Cascade Coal Area is one of particular scenic attraction, and there is growing tourist and recreation activity in the areas near present and potential strip mine sites. Serious conflict is almost inevitable, if existing practices continue. There is a need for a re-appraisal of present mining regulations and administrative practices, in order to prevent the serious problems which are expected.
