The Mining Remediation Authority makes a better future for people and the environment in mining areas.

The Mining Remediation Authority manages the effects of past coal mining, including subsidence damage claims which are not the responsibility of licensed coal mine operators. It deals with mine water pollution and other mining legacy issues.

It also owns, on behalf of the country, the majority of the coal in Great Britain, and licenses coal mining.

We use our skills to provide services to other government departments and agencies, local governments and commercial partners.

We contribute to the delivery of the UK government’s Industrial Strategy and the environmental, social and economic priorities of the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments.

By sharing our knowledge and expertise we support them, and our partners, to create cleaner, greener nations for us all.
