• variability is documented. These investigations and recommendations
are intended to optimize postmine vegetation growth and groundwater
aquifer characteristics.
Conclusions and recommendations are based on the interpretation of
laboratory data and lithological descriptions developed during the analy-
sis of the cores.
Selection of Overburden Parameters.
The Wyoming DEO Guideline No. I (WDEQ, 1977) and Montana bSL
Guideline for Overburden Material (MDSE, 1977a) lists twenty-eight (28)
chemical and physical parameters to be determined for the evaluation of
overburden material. These parameters are:
- pH
• = Conductivity (EC) mmhos/cm at 25° C.
Saturation Percentage (SP)
- Particle Size (°~ sand, clay, silt, VFS)
- Texture Class
- Water Soluble Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Sodium (Na)
- Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR)
- Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) if SAR> 10
- Copper (Cu)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Iron (Fe)
- Manganese (Mn)
- Zinc (Zn)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Acid-Base Potential (ABP)
- Nitrate (NO3-N) and Ammonium (NH4+-N) Nitrogen
- Selenium (Se)
. - Boron (B)
- Molybdenum (Mo)
- Lead (Pb)
