The State of the Art of Erosion and Sediment Control for Surface Mined Areas.

Abstract

This thesis attempts to define the state of the art of sediment and erosion control for surface mined areas with emphasis on sediment ponds. Additionally, pertinent hydrologic aspects, sediment characteristics, and the erosion processes are briefly reviewed. Consideration is given to the uses of computer models as design or analysis tools. Finally, the thesis is summarized in tabular form providing a convenient index for all referenced material. Also included is a list of current research and a list of needed research.
