PROGRAM OF THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ABSTRACT
The Water Resources Division of the
U.S. Geological Survey began work in coal hydrology
in 1974 on behalf of the Bureau of Land Management.
From 1975 through 1984, the Survey received Federal
funding for this program, largely as a result of the
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act. Funding
peaked at $12.3 million in 1980; limited funding was
available from other Federal agencies during the period
1974-84, notably the Bureau of Land Management, the
Environmental Protection Agency, and the Office of
Surface Mining. The work under the coal
hydrology
program can be classified into three categories:
(1) hydrologic monitoring to acquire data needed as
input to Environmental Impact Statements and mining
permits and to assist management and regulatory
authorities; (2) hydrologic modeling to develop the
techniques for impact assessments and, in particular,
cumulative impact analyses; and (3) basic research in
coal geochemistry as it relates to mine drainage.
