Notes

This handbook contains information on the best current practices to minimize disturbances and adverse impacts of surface mining on fish and wildlife resources. Current state and federal legislation was reviewed to determine those practices which were most compatible with the best technology currently available, fish and wildlife plans, and reclamation plans for the Southcentral region of the U.S. The information presented includes risks, limitations, approximate costs, and maintenance and management requirements for each practice. Plans for the restoration of specific habitats, according to the best practices are also included.

Funded by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, Minerals Environmental Technology Program.
