Technical feature:During 1978, about 14 million tons of coal were mined in North Dakota, disturbing about 930 acres of land. The costs of reclamation for a given set of mine conditions is estimated. Costs incurred in the separate reclamation activities of preparation and planning, recontouring, top soiling, and revegetation were calculated. Total reclamation costs under the conditions assumed was $6500/mined acre. Compliance with reclamation fees mandated under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 would add an average of $2900/mined acre to the cost of reclamation.
