Excerpt from Reclamation of Mined Lands in the Western Coal Region The revegetation process, though dependent on climate, the availability of suitable thick nesses of growing media, and of sources of plant materials, has been extensively researched for western coal surface-mined lands in recent years by the Surface Environment and Mining Program3 and other Federal and State govern ment agencies and universities. In general, the same horticultural principles that are used for successful farming, home gardening, or land scaping, were found to apply in the revegetation process.
