Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Overburden Analyses and Strip-Mine Conditions in the Northwestern District of the Ohio Coal-Mining Region
Because the spoils in the district are highly acid, the use of most of the strip-mined lands for pastures or cultivated crops is not practical; tree planting to improve site conditions and to grow forest products-should be the primary reclamation measure. The area stripped for No. 4 coal in Wayne County, where the spoils are composed largely of calcareous glacial till, is one of the few exceptions.
