This paper deals with environmental effects caused by extensive coal mining in the North Fork watershed of the Pound River of Virginia, and plans for reclamation of these abandoned sites. The study plan is outlined for determining the current environmental problems in this steep slope area. Ideas for alternative mining practices for incidental coal removal during this reclamation process is also discussed.
