The goal of Abandoned Mine Land (AML) reclamation is the development a multi-user land use that enhances the sites positive characteristics and eliminates negative ones. The AML program in the State of Kansas developed and reclaimed a large coal slurry disposal area by the use of wetlands. The main objective was to eliminate the acid mine drainage from the coal slurry and coarse fuel refuse areas but at the same time retain the wildlife habitat that had naturally developed on site. Selective flooding of various areas by the use of a series of small dams was the selected reclamation option. The project is now completed and is working as planned.
