 quality. USDA For. Serv. Res. Pap. INT-266, 8 p. Intermt. For. 

 and Range Exp. Stn., Ogden, Utah 84401. 



Ceramic cup soil-water samplers were used to determine the 

 soil-water ionic concentrations of copper, iron, and sulfate within an 

 acid spoil dump from 1974 to 1979. Over that time, samples from 

 revegetated and nonrevegetated areas are compared. Differences 

 in sample results cannot be attributed to the effects of revegetation. 



KEYWORDS: soil-water quality, soil-water samples, acid mine drain- 

 age, revegetation.
