Book ·
OSTI ID:6436392
This book, based on 19 government reports issued from 1967 through 1974, describes surface mining of coal, land use and methods, land reclamation technology plus sediment and erosion control. Acid mine drainage, its sources, prevention and correction, as well as the mechanism of reclaiming acid strip mine lakes are discussed. Specific studies on revegetation, use of spoil amendments etc. are included. A whole chapter is devoted to West Germany's approach to the problem of strip-mined lands. The final two chapters are devoted to costs, economics, and financing.
