Three principal areas are examined: reclamation, hydrology, and sedimentology. Reclamation is sub-divided further: soil amending mulches and moisture relationships are considered; planning, prime farmland, and economics; revegetation of surface mine spoil by use of various plant species; and lastly, top soiling and overburden management. Hydrology is investigated in terms of acid mine drainage, drainage runoff, hydrologic impacts of surface mining of coal, and groundwater monitoring and control. Sections on sedimentology evaluate predictive techniques for sediment control including the sculpturing of reclaimed land to decrease erosion; and chemical treatments for removal of manganese and suspended soils. Water quality assessment is an area where hydrology and sedimentology overlap and is considered in terms of assessment models, water quality degradation and hydraulics.
