Surface coal mining effects on ground water recharge. Technical report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6763539
In response to the request from the OSM (Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement), in March 1989 the Water Science and Technology Board formed a committee of specialists in hydrology, soil science, water quality, and law to undertake an assessment of technologies currently used to evaluate ground water recharge. The report includes chapters on regulatory aspects of the issue, the hydrology of ground water recharge, pre-mining conditions in U.S. coal mining regions, methods and impacts of mining, and techniques for quantifying ground water recharge rates. Although not the major charge of the committee's report, a discussion of the relevant water quality issues is included (Chapter 5). Chapter 7 presents the committee's conclusions and recommendations.
