A multi celled passive series of lagoons system was proposed. No corrective action is required. The State is certified, meaning that all inventoried coal mines eligible for AML reclamation are completed or currently under reclamation. Coal mine reclamation projects are becoming fewer as each project is completed. Currently, the new projects are those that were not identified earlier as eligible for AML reclamation or consent for reclamation has been recently obtained.
Sufficient funding is available to reclaim newly identified coal sites.
As new coal sites are found, the State allows them first priority and start reclamation. Site visits were coordinated with the Wyoming AML Division Administrator for on the ground evaluation of the sites. If no issues or problems are identified in the field, no further evaluation will take place. However, if an issue or problem is identified the source will be investigated and a resolutions will be worked out with the State. Two ongoing projects were selected to evaluate process and uniqueness of each.
