These banks were sodded to Bermuda grass (costal) in 1955. Land is useless until vegetated. It will offer some grazing when the grass is established. No fertilizer had been used to get this growth. Area in background is unvegetated. With stored water in pits formed when excavating coal, water for irrigation may make for more intensive production than before coal was removed."

The back of the photograph proclaims, "Leveled spoil banks after strip mining of coal. This area was leveled with a dozer and will be sodded to coastal Bermuda grass. Vegetation will be slow in this area as the soil is not fertile and lacks top soil and organic matter. Area will be useful for grazing after a few years of vegetation. It has been observed locally that leveling may cause excessive compaction of soil-sloping areas remain more friable."
