In this work the author describes the use of gravel bulkheads for confining hydraulic backfilling of abandoned underground coal mines that are simply refilled or, as in the case of the Portal Park swimming pool in Colorado Springs, rebuilt in the area over the abandoned mine. Hydraulic backfilling was the void filling method favored when the Portal Park ...

An effort was made in 1976 to reclaim the 13.8-ha site around an abandoned deep coal mine near Staunton, Illinois. Prior to reclamation, an area of about 9.3 ha was severely eroded and largely devoid of vegetation. As a consquence, wildlife use of the sit...

This Bureau of Mines report estimates the extent of abandoned coal-mined lands, focusing on problems emanating from such lands, and examining their magnitude, methods and costs of rehabilitation, and reclamation efforts presently being expended by Federal and State government agencies and the mining industry. Reclamation cost data are current as of 1978.

The Minerals Management Service (MMS) has updated its policy affecting oil and gas platform abandonment and removal procedures that should facilitate efforts between coastal states and oil and gas companies in the development of better offshore Rigs-to-Re...

Efforts reported in this document focused on the demonstration of a passive technology that could be used for remediation of thousands of abandoned mines existing in the Western United States that emanate acid mine drainage (AMD). This passive remedial technology takes ad...

Care of abandoned children in India is discussed in terms of reasons for abandonment, the physical condition of the children, and legal categories. The options available currently are the cottage system, sponsorship programs, foster care, or adoption. Child-care and rehabilitation that may be necessary is specified as is the importance of maintaining ...

An effort is under way to optimize the roles of man and machine in control of liquid-metal-cooled fast breeder reactors. The work reported here describes two systems: (1) MIDAS, presently in use, is a large data base system developed for the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) as an aid to operators in determining how to proceed with maintenance and repairs on plant components and ...

An effort is underway to optimize the roles of man and machine in control of Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactors. The work reported on here describes two systems that have been developed. The first of these, MIDAS, is a large data base system developed for use at FFTF as an aid to operators in determining how to proceed with maintenance and repairs to be carried out on plant ...

One nonconventional oil target in Texas is the oil that remains in abandoned fields, defined as those fields that had no oil or gas production in 1977 and 1982. This target includes oil that has not been tapped by conventional field development because of reservoir heterogeneity and oil in reservoirs that have not been subjected to any secondary or tertiary recovery ...

In an effort to remediate and reuse abandoned or contaminated industrial properties, the Ohio State legislature passed a law in 1994 that created the Ohio Voluntary Action Program (VAP). VAP consists of a series of incentives for property owners and prospective buyers to accelerate cleanup and reuse of abandoned sites or brownfields. ...

We surveyed bats at 36 abandoned coal mines during summer 2002 and 47 mines during fall 2002 at New River Gorge National River and Gauley River National Recreation Area, WV. During summer, we captured three federally endangered Virginia big-eared bats at two mine entrances, and 25 were captured at 12 mine entrances during fall. These represent the first documented captures of ...

This paper summarizes and evaluates data on mine subsidence ground movements and associated damage for houses in Illinois. Based on the data collected, the response of homes to subsidence ground movements is expressed in terms of repair costs. A damage criteria is then proposed that relates the ground movements and damage levels. The data were collected as part of a comprehensive study performed ...

The success of a well decommissioning program in any state or region depends on knowing where the wells are. At that point, proper measures must be taken to properly decommission the well and to do so at a reasonable cost. The key player in this scenario is often the drilling contractor, the pump installer, and any ground water specialist with a keen eye, a concern for the protection of ground ...

The Staunton 1 Reclamation Demonstration Project involves an evaluation of the reclamation process for a deep coal mine refuse system. A typical abandoned midwestern deep coal mine refuse site was selected, final land use was determined, baseline data were collected, engineering plans were developed and implemented, and a post-construction evaluation was begun. The project is ...

The lack of an adequate supply of cadaver organs and tissues for transplantation to those in need poses a major challenge to the transplant community and to those responsible for public policy. Historically, Americans have relied upon a combination of altruism and voluntarism to generate an adequate supply of cadaver organs and tissues. The ongoing shortage of organs and tissues has led, in recent ...

A 13.8 ha abandoned coal refuse site in southwestern Illinois was reclaimed by recontouring the refuse material and covering it with a minimum 30 cm of soil. The reclamation procedure included determination of the site's final land use, collection of preconstruction environmental data, and development and implementation of engineering plans. The project is ...
