Book excerpt: Surface mine reclamation results in the removal and redistribution of soil materials, which has a profound effect on many soil properties. The Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) of 1977 was enacted by Congress to mitigate some of the negative consequences of surface mining. The goal of this research was to understand the impact of SMCRA on the development of permeability within the soil, as it relates to soil aggregate formation in the development of soil structure. To determine this, field saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs) measurements were made in three areas, one area reclaimed prior to SMCRA, one area reclaimed under the guidelines set forth by SMCRA, and one area that had not been mined. Soil samples were also gathered in order to assess whether soil aggregation was proceeding normally, or whether it was disrupted in any of the three areas. A wet sieving process was used to separate soil the soil aggregates into three size fractions. Organic material that was not contained within the soil aggregates was removed by physical separation, and the soil aggregates within each size fraction were analyzed for d13C and C/N. These data were then used to ascertain whether aggregation was proceeding normally. It was hypothesized that if aggregation wHolas proceeding according to patterns established I the literature that the soil would be developing structure, and would thus have a higher measured Kfs. The aggregate dynamics study demonstrated that the unmined reference site was developing according to expected patterns (normally), and that the post-SMCRA reclaimed area was developing more normally than the pre-SMCRA area. The unmined area did not have the highest Kfs values, but the post-SMCRA site had a higher average Kfs than the pre-SMCRA site, based on limited data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land reclamation, particularly of land disturbed by mining, is a major environmental issue throughout the world. Thirty-eight chapters explore the vast complexities involved in reclamation after large-scale disturbances and provide a broad range of perspectives and examples of reclamation efforts. Readers will find specifics, from mapping minesoil to policy-making, from geochemistry to large-scale topography, from the papermill to oil shale, and emerge with an overall understanding of reclamation strategies and challenges.
