Postmining Land Use: A Bibliography of Existing Experience and Potential Alternative Uses for Reclaiming Surface Coal Mining Operations

摘要

The first group of references of literature acquired and indexed by the Office of Surface Mining as part of a postmining land use opportunities handbook project are given. The references cover literature on the reclamation and postmining use of mined land, including sand and gravel, hardrock and coal mining operations. The range of subjects includes all aspects of postmining use including social and environmental impacts, economic incentives, and case studies describing actual postmining land-use experience. Access to the references is achieved through various indexes: keyword, author, permuted title, and permuted keyword. (ERA citation 08:004044)
