Type of Report:   Metric Topographic Quadrangle

 

Abstract:

 

Report provides open-file maps at 1:250,000 scale with individual maps 1:24,000

scale.  Each map set is entitled "Landslide and Related Feature of the (named)

Quadrangle (state)."  Maps identify recent and old landslides, rockfalls, and

areas susceptible to sliding.  Other features identify strip mines classified as

to type and degree of reclamation, gravel pits, quarries, and other man-made

features that affect slope stability in vicinity of coal mining activities.

APPLICATION OF REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES IN THE ANALYSIS OF ABANDONED MINE LANDS

(1980).  204 pp.

Type of Report:   Final Report

 

Abstract:

 

Report assesses utility and significance of remote sensing procedures for

analysis of abandoned mine lands (AML) defined by the Surface Mine Control and

Reclamation Act of 1977.  Emphasizes factors that condition the type of remote

sensing approaches which detect abandoned mine land character.  Among the more

significant are legal (the law per se), health and safety, environmental,

ecological, cultural, and historical.  It introduces AML problem and reviews

some fundamentals of remote sensing, including technological aspects (e.g.,

platforms, instrumentation, film, etc.).

Type of Report:   Final Report

 

Abstract:

 

Report describes a computerized system for organizing, storing and retrieving

descriptive info about remotely-sensed data acquired over western surface coal

mining sites by EPA (NV). Approximately 75 sites were imaged by monitoring air

parameters:  mine name, state, county, latitude, longitude, imagery type, month,

year of data acquisition, above ground imaging altitude and scale, project no.,

film roll, flight or PCM no., frame or tape footage range, and descriptive

comments.  The info is stored in word processor and retrieved via CRT display

printer, and it is possible to specify up to 5 variables.

Type of Report:  Final Report

 

Abstract:

 

Study indicates needed changes in software for non-computer user and need to

examine with mine inspectors higher resolution data such as simulated by

thematic mapper/airborne multispectral scanner/aerial photo.  Exam of Earth

Resources Laboratory Applications software is very flexible image processing and

data integrating software.  It was developed and upgraded by Stanford Remote

Sensing Laboratory and needs additional inputs.  Documents on existing system

are negligible.  Within this area TAC could provide from user's viewpoint good

documents  New software should be added to give system more operating

capability.

Type of Report:  Final Report

 

Abstract:

 

Manual is formatted to assist untrained user to learn and apply basic photo

interpretation skills regarding surface mining features.  Provides experienced

analyst with reference handbook on applying photo interpretation to mining

situations.  Manual consists of Fundamentals of Aerial Photography; Aerial Photo

Analysis of Surface Mine Features; Case Studies and Exercises; and Appendices. 

The use of the manual will provide the reader with "hands-on" experience

involving mine situations within the U.S.  The manual is designed to provide

information and experience in a step-wise manner.

A NATIONAL INVENTORY OF AML PROBLEMS:  AN EMPHASIS ON HEALTH, SAFETY, AND

GENERAL WELFARE IMPACTS [HS&GW] (1983). 422 pp.

 

Performing Organization Name and Address:

 

     USDOE-Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN 37831.

 

Type of Report:  Final Report

 

Abstract:

 

As of 3/83 AML National Inventory describes and includes 6137 problem areas. 

1373 qualify by OSM standard cause or potentially cause threats to public HS&GW.

 Analysis of current data indicate that most severely impacted region in U.S. is

Appalachia.  Nearly 50% of total HS&GW impacts are found in PA/WV/KY/OH. 

Statement does not imply serious problems are not found in other states.  One of

the serious AML problems is Rock Springs, WY where property by value decreased

more than 10%.  When AL/GA/MD/TN/VA are included, more than 77% of AML impact is

found in eastern coal-mining states (Table 1).

NATIONAL MAPPING PROGRAM (FACT SHEET:  BLACK - AND - WHITE PHOTOS) NATIONAL HIGH

ALTITUDE PHOTO PROGRAM (1984).

 

Performing Organization Name and Address: 

 

     U.S. Geological Survey, Sioux Falls, SD 57198

 

Type of Report:  Final Report

 

Abstract: 

 

Since 1980 the multi-agency National High Altitude Photo (NHAP) program obtained

both 1:80,000-scale black-and-white and 1:58,000-scale color-infra red photos

taken at altitude of 40,000 feet.  Photo coverage of conterminous U.S. under

NHAP will be completed FY-88.  As a result of continuing assessment of national

and state needs for multipurpose aerial photos, participating Federal agencies

redesigned former NHAP program to meet the current needs for high resolution

photos.  New program is the National Aerial Photo Program and color-infrared

photos are being acquired at scale of 1:40,000 from an altitude of 20,000 feet.
