The purpose of this investigation funded by the Department of Energy is to sample, test and analyze coal impoundments in Alabama to determine the quantity of coal in place, and the quantity, and quality of recoverable coal in each impoundment. A second objective of the work is to sample the washery wastes currently discharging into the impoundments, and to determine the quantity and quality of coal recoverable. During the second quarter of FY 1981 exploration of three additional waste fine coal impoundment locations was completed. The ten waste coal impoundments proven to date contain 8,395,439 tons of raw coal from which 3,606,283 tons of clean coal can be recovered. The summarized data is reported and several impoundments are described in detail.
