(1977). bFor extraction, values are Btu's mined. Coal magnitude inputs for extraction are obtained by dividing outputs by extrac- tion efficiencies and are shown in parentheses. Extraction efficiencies given by Hittman Associates (1977) are as follows: Underground Surface Auger Northern Appalachia 0.57 0.81 NA, assume same as surface Central Appalachia NA, assume same as Northern Appalachia 0.81 NA, assume same as surface Central NA, assume same as Northern Appalachia 0.81 NA, assume same as surface Northwest - 0.98 Southwest NA, assume same as Northern Appalachia 0.79
