Performing Organization Name and Address:

Resource Technologies Corp., State College, PA 16801

Type of Report: Final Report

Abstract:

Identifies hazards which may result from coal mining, with associated

preventive, mitigative & recovery adjustments. Documents analysis of

alternatives available to protect against catastrophic events. Environmental

risks identified are those that occur beyond time period when normal surface &

underground mining & reclamation operations are completed. Residual hazards

investigated: groundwater pollution, loss of aquifer, surface water pollution,

subsidence, landslides, mine fires, impoundment failures, mine seal failures.

Hazard adjustments investigated: land use management programs, recovery and

restoration programs; insurance programs; special trust funds.

AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES IN THE WARRIOR COAL BASIN IN Alabama (1987. BULLETIN 12 7.

3 03 pp.

Performing Organization Name and Address:

Alabama Geological Survey, Tuscaloosa, AL 35486

Type of Report: Bulletin

Abstract:

Warrior Coal Basin is the largest in Alabama both in size and productivity. In

order for coal resources of the basin to be developed in an environmentally

sound manner, information on aquatic biota and habitat of the region is

necessary. The report provides identification key to 123 families of aquatic

invertebrates found in Warrior Coal Basin, a well as ecological information.

This report should be useful to state and Federal agencies and mine operators in

preparing environmental assessments and postmining impact studies.
