The data were collected to help describe the hydrogeology and geochemistry of an area that is being surface mined for coal. The study area was at the Seneca II Coal Mine. Lennox coal and Wadge coal are the major seams being mined. Confined Aquifers in bedrock and unconfined aquifers in reclaimed spoil are present in the area.
Springs are present at the toe of the reclaimed spoil slope.
Climatologic data were collected at two sites. Air temperatures, relative humidity, solar radiation, windspeed, and wind duration were collected at one site. Precipitation was measured at three rain gages. Snow-course data were collected at three sites. Soil-water content and soil dry density were measured.
