Surface Mining Regulation and Reclamation: |
Completed between Fiscal Years 1978 and 1998.
Access note: This is a compilation of two bibliographies, produced in 1995 and 1999. Items abstracted in the 1995 bibliography of works published 1978-1991 (156 pages as a text file; or if you prefer, you can view the same thing on 237 pages as an htm file) are available from the U.S. National Technical Information Service. Items abstracted in the 1999 bibliography of works published 1991-1998 (52 pages as a text file) must be obtained from Joe Galetovic at the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (U.S. Department of the Interior). Therefore, to know which source to consult for a particular item you will need to know which of the two bibliographies described it.

This file contains abstracts to aid researchers in identifying technical reports related to coal mining and reclamation which are available from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, and from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). (See Access note above; items that are available from the one source are NOT available from the other source.)
These documents report research completed under contract to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), between fiscal years of 1978 and 1991, and between the years 1991 and 1998. OSM provided these reports to NTIS as a part of its growing awareness of the need to ensure that state regulatory authorities, the coal industry, university researchers, and the public have complete access to all relevant research funded by OSM since the inception of its Title V Applied Research Program. This report is meant to serve as a guide to this technology transfer initiative. The 1995 file supplements and updates for the Surface Mining Regulation and Reclamation: Bibliography of Research Reports are available from the National Technical Information Service, 1978-1991, Portland, ME: University of Southern Maine, July 1995. 237 pp. [directly available at: http://www.usm.maine.edu/~pos/osmdos.txt]. The 1999 file supplements and updates for the Surface Mining Regulation and Reclamation: Bibliography of Research Reports are available from the University of Southern Maine [directly available on the Web at: http://www.usm.maine.edu/~pos/osm2.txt].
The abstracts are arranged by broad topic (the earlier abstracts utilize the OSM library report number).
The files may be searched for any keyword by downloading them into a word processing program and using the Search key (F2). Complementary copies of all documents may be requested from: Joe R.
