Description
Includes bibliographical references (page 15)
"The purpose of this investigation was to collect baseline data for establishing reclamation objectives and lease stipulations. The data consisted of geology, overburden, climate, and physiography. Geologic investigations in the study area consisted of drilling three core holes. Samples collected from stratigraphic units were analyzed in the laboratory to determine suitability of overburden materials for use as supplementary plant media in reconstructed profiles. A land classification survey was not performed in this study area. However, soils are assumed to be similar to those investigated in the adjacent Beulah Trench Study Area. As such, most soils should yield a minimum of 12 inches of good quality topsoil that is nonsaline, nonsodic, and permeable. Subsoil material should, in most cases, be of adequate quantity and quality for reconstructing a desirable root zone. The climatic regime in this area appears conducive to the production of native grasses and small grains. The moisture available to plants from snowmelt and spring precipitation is usually adequate or germination and establishment. In general, the potential for restoring surface-mined land in the North Beulah Study Area to a condition capable of supporting the present uses (rangeland, hayland, cropland) appears good to excellent."
