The study of coal wastes in Chautauga County, New York was begun on June 1, 1975. The major effort to date has been made on the fly ash dump west of Dunkirk, N.Y. The following topics are covered: description of the site; invertebrate biology; selection of trace elements for study and methods of analysis; water analyses; analyses of invertebrates; literature search; physical chemistry of coal ash and the leaching process; and study of lake sediments.
