Through decisions from other resources and a formal screening process, the coal resource potential area is further limited by both unacceptable and unsuitable for coal mining. 
Unsuitable areas come from BLM policy and refer to things such as distance from graveyards and schools. This is also called screening. 
Whereas unacceptable areas are resource decisions that vary by alternative. These data depict areas within the coal potential area that are unsuitable for coal mining.
