Coal waste stabilization by enhanced vegetation
Conference

OSTI ID:7358429
Coal wastes generated by previously uncontrolled surface mining and dumping of preparation plant refuse continue to cause environmental and asthetic problems. One potential method of treatment developed by the United States Bureau of Mines employs power plant fly ash as a soil-building amendment. Application of tonnage quantities of fly ash has resulted in successful revegetation of experimental sites totaling 83 acres of orphaned surface mines and 59 acres of refuse material. Costs include regrading, mixing of ash and spoil, seeding, fertilizing and mulching, but are highly dependent upon haulage of fly ash.
