In North Dakota today, coal mining primarily involves surface mining, specifically the strip mining method. This process entails removing overburden—layers of soil and rock—above coal deposits, allowing for large-scale extraction using heavy machinery like draglines and excavators. The mined coal is then transported to nearby power plants for electricity generation or to other facilities for processing. Environmental regulations are in place to manage impacts, including land reclamation efforts post-mining.
