Potential Effects of Surface Coal Mining on the Hydrology of the Greenleaf-Miller Area, Ashland Coal Field, Southeastern Montana

From purpose and scope: The purpose of this study was to describe existing hydrologic systems, to obtain data on the water quality in the area, and to assess potential impacts of surface coal mining on local water resources. Specific objectives of the study were to: (1) Identify ground-water resources and use; (2) identify surface-water resources and runoff characteristics; (3) determine chemical quality of the ground-water resources; (4) identify probable impacts on existing water resources by mining operations; and (5) evaluate the potential for reclamation of local water resources.

Potential Effects of Surface Coal Mining on the Hydrology of the Snider Creek Area, Rosebud and Ashland Coal Fields, Southeastern Montana

From abstract: The Snider Creek area of the Rosebud and Ashland coal fiends contains strippable reserves of Federal coal that have been identified for potential lease sale. A hydrologic study has been conducted in the potential lease area to describe the existing hydrologic systems and to assess potential impacts of surface coal mining on local water resources.
