Technical Report · Sun Jun 24 04:00:00 EDT 1990

OSTI ID:6778296

The report was prepared by the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources (ENR) for the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals (DMM) under the authorization of the Illinois Surface Coal Mining Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (PA 81-1015). A petition to designate certain farmlands in Salem Township of Knox County, Illinois, unsuitable for mining was filed with DMM by local landowners and the Knox County Farm Bureau, Inc. ENR is required to prepare a land report for these petitions when they are declared complete by DMM. The land report documents the status of existing resources in the petition area and surrounding region and the impact a declaration of unsuitability would have on these resources in the future. Further, the report discusses the impact of mining on existing land use plans or programs, fragile or historic lands, renewable resource lands, the human environment, socioeconomic resources and natural hazard lands.
