Technical Report · Mon Sep 21 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:6098512

Highlights of progress achieved during the period ending August 31, 1981 are summarized. The hydrological criteria required to establish a strip mine disposal site are outlined. Geotechnical considerations are identified. Western strip mine procedures which affect FGD sludge disposal are discussed. The assessment criteria which can be used to determine the impact of FGD sludge leachate on groundwater quality are described. Methods are identified for monitoring groundwater at a strip mine FGD sludge disposal site. (DMC)
