International Land Reclamation and Mine Drainage Conference and Third International Conference on the Abatement of Acidic Drainage 1994

The conference was held at Pittsburgh, PA on April 24-29, 1994. This conference served as the annual meeting for the American Society for Surface Mining and Reclamation (ASSMR), the Canadian Land Reclamation Association, and the West Virginia Surface Mine Drainage Task Force, in conjunction with the Third International Conference on the Abatement of Acidic Drainage. The Special Publication was published by the Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines. Contributions provided by: Department of the Interior (Bureau of Mines, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, Bureau of Land Management, and Geological Survey), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Tennessee Valley Authority, USDA Soil Conservation Service, and Canada's MEND Program.

Mine drainage and mine reclamation are topics of major interest to the mining industry, federal and local government, and the general public. These four volumes are the proceedings of a conference held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, April 24-29, 1994. There were twelve sessions (69 papers) that dealt with mine drainage, including modeling, geochemistry, prediction, treatment, control strategies, characterization, hydrology, and case studies. These sessions comprise volume 1 and volume 2. The six sessions (34 papers) that dealt with reclamation and revegetation of disturbed lands are included in volume 3. Volume 4 includes six sessions (34 papers) that dealt with such topical issues as fires at abandoned mine sites, subsidence, hydrology, mine wastes, and policy. Poster sessions presentations are represented by 49 papers and 92 abstracts that have been placed in the back of volumes 2, 3, and 4, consistent with the subject of that volume.
