Tulsa Field Office

The Tulsa Field Office (TFO) is responsible for coordination between OSM and State regulatory authorities, citizens, and coal industry in the States of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas. State coal programs are monitored to ensure that surface coal mining operations, the surface effects of underground coal mining and the reclamation of abandoned mine lands are conducted in an environmentally sound manner.

The Field Office Director (FOD) directs TFO activities and is responsible for financial management, property, and acquisition management. TFO is divided into two teams, the Administrative Support Team, and the Oversight Team. Some staff serve on both teams and participate on special team projects within and outside OSM.

The Administrative Support Team ensures that field office staff is provided assistance and customer service on a variety of administrative services. Services provided allow the utilization of all resources available to TFO.

The Oversight Team gathers data about coal mining and reclamation operations, assists States in improving inspection and enforcement activities, and recommends actions needed to address State program deficiencies. The accomplishment of this work will assist State’s in the implementation of their programs and ensure proper reclamation of the land.
