OSTI ID:6287710
This report delineates the preliminary findings of a study to determine the feasibility of leveling surface mine spoil piles at a production rate of 2000 bank cubic yards per hour while reducing the costs by 50 percent as compared to current crawler mounted dozer reclamation practices. Three machine concepts were identified as feasible alternatives; a crawler mounted winch pulled dozer, an adaptation of a small utility dragline, and a bucket wheel excavator. Based on the primary program objectives with due consideration to utility, durability, mobility, development costs, and the potential for mine acceptability, the dragline was indicated to be superior to the other concepts. Additional study will be required to determine the configuration most suitable for reclamation work as well as the environmental effects and the effects on health and safety at the mine site.
