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.

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

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.

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

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.
