No 414511, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: This bibliography was prepared at the request of the Committee on Surface Mining and Reclamation (COSMAR), National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council, for use in developing the COSMAR report. The bibliography determines and evaluates, wherever possible, the state of the art of mitigating adverse environmental effects of surface mining for commodities other than coal. It contains results of an extensive computer-based literature search and responses to a national survey. Citations that have direct relevance to the COSMAR study were selected for the bibliography. Available abstracts are included. Each reference is indexed by commodity, general subject, and environmental problem. The publication includes a section of references to unpublished literature and a summary of professional concerns about mining impacts throughout the United States.
