Description: The purpose of this investigation was to collect baseline data for establishing reclamation objectives and lease stipulations. The report includes data on climate, physiography, geology, coal resources, and overburden. The study area, located in Southwestern North Dakota, lies within the unglaciated portion of the Great Plains Physiographic Province ... Based on the resource data in this report, the potential for restoring surface-mined land in this study area to a condition capable of supporting the present uses (rangeland, hayland, cropland) appears good.
