This report will review current literature, describe operations and controls, and suggest survey and research objectives for reclamation of lands disturbed by surface mining of coal in the Rocky Mountain region of Alberta. However, many of the principles to be discussed apply to other types of strip-mines or to surface disturbances such as road-cuts, quarries and large rock slides; they also apply to other geographic areas such as the Great Plains region of Alberta and Saskatchewan and the Rocky Mountain region of British Columbia.
