Book excerpt: The purposes of this report are 1) to shed light on abandoned mining sites and their impacts on public lands; 2) to highlight the accomplishments of the BLM, the Forest Service, and project partners in addressing abandoned mine lands (AML) problems; and 3) to describe the outlook for future AML reclamation efforts. Examples throughout the report offer insight into the environmental, health, safety, and economic effects often associated with these sites and illustrate the lasting and acid mine drainage leaching from the positive impacts of reclamation activities on formerly mined lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West at Risk summarizes the dominant human-generated environmental challenges in the 11 contiguous arid western United States - America's legendary, even mythical, frontier. When discovered by European explorers and later settlers, the west boasted rich soils, bountiful fisheries, immense, dense forests, sparkling streams, untapped ore deposits, and oil bonanzas. It now faces depletion of many of these resources, and potentially serious threats to its few "renewable" resources. The importance of this story is that preserving lands has a central role for protecting air and water quality, and water supplies--and all support a healthy living environment. The idea that all life on earth is connected in a great chain of being, and that all life is connected to the physical earth in many obvious and subtle ways, is not some new-age fad, it is scientifically demonstrable. An understanding of earth processes, and the significance of their biological connections, is critical in shaping societal values so that national land use policies will conserve the earth and avoid the worst impacts of natural processes. These connections inevitably lead science into the murkier realms of political controversy and bureaucratic stasis. Most of the chapters in The American West at Risk focus on a human land use or activity that depletes resources and degrades environmental integrity of this resource-rich, but tender and slow-to-heal, western U.S. The activities include forest clearing for many purposes; farming and grazing; mining for aggregate, metals, and other materials; energy extraction and use; military training and weapons manufacturing and testing; road and utility transmission corridors; recreation; urbanization; and disposing of the wastes generated by everything that we do. We focus on how our land-degrading activities are connected to natural earth processes, which act to accelerate and spread the damages we inflict on the land.

Download or read book Conceptualizations of Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation written by Hannah Caudill and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Daniel Boone National Forest contains numerous abandoned mine sites left over from eastern Kentucky's long history of coal mining. Many of these abandoned mines are leaching contaminants into the surrounding environment, and the US Forest Service is acting to reclaim these sites to mitigate the negative environmental impacts. There are also several other governmental and non-governmental actors in Appalachia with different conceptualizations of the purpose of reclamation. My research examines the process of mine land reclamation on a protected area within a region with an extensive history of resource extraction. My research builds on previous work within the field of land reclamation to understand different conceptualizations of abandoned mine land reclamation in Appalachia. Content analysis was conducted on DBNF project documentation, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and additional documentation from several state governments, federal agencies, and NGOs. These various documents indicate that government entities tend to conceptualize abandoned mine land reclamation and its purpose in a siloed manner. This stands in contrast to common ecological restoration attitudes, which advocate for a more comprehensive approach. My research reveals that non-governmental actors tend to conceptualize mine land reclamation in a more holistic manner but are less able to exert control over an area. The DBNF largely conceptualizes the purpose of mine land reclamation as achieving ecosystem restoration but may benefit from working more closely with various NGOs and adopting a similarly holistic approach. Opening a dialogue between these actors could help address the knowledge gap present at the DBNF's AML sites.
