Third biennial symposium on surface coal mine reclamation on the Great Plains, Billings, Montana, March 19-21, 1984
This book presents the papers given at a 1984 symposium which considered regulatory status and change, surface mine planning and impact mitigation, coal development and wildlife, soil and overburden, shrub establishment on reclaimed lands, and the measurement and evaluation of revegetation and reclamation success. Topics covered at the symposium included regulatory reform in Wyoming, surface coal mining hydrology, computer-assisted investigations for assessing surface mining impacts, baseline vegetation data, local government planning, visual simulation, cropland reclamation after stripmining in North Dakota, the future of reclamation planning, wildlife mitigation in Montana, soil and overburden analysis, minesoil restoration and maturity, shrub and tree establishment on coal spoils, potential topsoiling strategies for mined lands, the role of mycorrhizae in mined land diversity, the effects of native hay mulch on soil stabilization, reclamation monitoring, industry's view of reclamation/revegetation, the reclamation of surface mined lands in Wyoming for livestock grazing, and a Federal concept of measuring revegetation success in the West.
