The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 has provided a funded program for reclaiming the nation's abandoned coal-mine lands. This paper reviews methods of inventorying such lands and discusses criteria and planning strategies needed to ensure that fish and wildlife values are given consideration in development and implementation of reclamation plans. Habitat evaluation methods are briefly discussed.
