The Bureau of Mines Minerals Environmental Technology Program is structured to address environmental impacts by developing cost-effective technology to remove or relieve constraints on domestic mineral production while at the same time protecting our environment. These proceedings consist of papers presented at two Bureau of Mines Technology Transfer Seminars in early 1980 for the purpose of disseminating recent advances in technology related to mined-land reclamation. The goal of this subprogram is to improve postmining land use. Specific objectives of the research projects are to develop new technology and better methods for: contour restoration; segregation, storage, and replacement of topsoil; enhancing and sustaining vegetative cover; and preventing and treating postmining hazards through toxic material isolation and selective overburden handling. Seven papers have been entered individually into EDB and ERA. (LTN)
