Abstract:
Study
team identified and reviewed research studies on surface mining, land
reclamation,
and SMCRA; identified gaps in research and reviewed a number of
existing
data bases of potential value to assessments of SMCRA; discussed
estimation
of impacts with Federal and state agencies and organizations who have
an
interest in SMCRA-related matters; visited selected surface coal mines to
gain
clearer insights into socio-economic/environmental benefits and impacts of
surface
mining, land reclamation, and SMCRA.
Subsequent chapters describe these
efforts
and present major findings and conclusions.
