- 1 March 2013 21:25218293The Goodwin Sands Potholing Club ought to be contacted, they know where the existing natural chambers are for easy access to the seams but won't be too happy if they're filled in to take the weight of a runway.
- 1 March 2013 21:48218298We have chalk at 750 ft open cast will not be happening
The sea coal we see is just small out crops not viable seams
To my knowledge 1500 ft is the first seam of viable interest - 2 March 2013 17:44218416Kieth.
No open cast mining will occur, not even on the the sands."My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum" - 2 March 2013 17:47218421There is always away to do anything if the will and funds are in place

I don't dispute that open cast mining could be done( except on the GS) but I just don't think it would be a favoured option."My New Year's Resolution, is to try and emulate Marek's level of chilled out, thoughtfulness and humour towards other forumites and not lose my decorum" - 2 March 2013 18:14218443Bingham Canyon Mine:
So where shall we put it Whitfield where they can't even cope with some exploratory groundworks ?
Probably around the size a open cast mine would have to be in East Kent to get down to workable seams !

The shafts kept filling up with underground water.

- 2 March 2013 18:21218453Hmmm, could think of a couple of likely sites but suspect the CPRE and local residents would raise the odd objection

After a few weeks they try another one out.
