dc.descriptionIn 1976, increased utilization of coal reserves in the Northern Great Plains was projected as the result of growing US energy needs. 91.6 million acres in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming possessed coal deposits under their surfaces with a projected 64.2 billion tons of recoverable coal. As a result the need for reclamation of surface-mined lands was readily apparent. Inherit to the concept of reclamation is the idea of establishing an environment suitable for sustained vegetative growth. In addition, information concerning water movement was needed for typical surface-mined materials to aid in the establishment of efficient soil and water management procedures required for reclamation activities. Different types of soils were studied with each discussed here. Different types of rainfall events were presented. Those plots which were cultivated and those which were not were addressed.
