Some Effects of Legislation on Equipment Needs in the Reclamation of Surface Mined Land in the Midwest 750582
In the past, there was little need for changes in machinery design specifically for surface mining. However, the requirements imposed by land reclamation legislation since the 1940s present problems that cannot be handled readily by conventional equipment. For the long run, new types of equipment should be considered. In the meantime, research efforts should be devoted to redesigning, enlarging, or modifying existing equipment.
