The National forest areas offering the greatest potential for coal development are in or near the Daniel Boone in Kentucky and Tennessee, Hoosier in Indiana, Jefferson in Virginia, Monongahela in West Virginia, Shawnee in Illinois, and Wayne in Ohio. An evaluation of the available data and published information on coal mining and the water resources of these areas identifies informational needs. Three such needs common to all six National forest areas are for (1) numerical characterization of streamflow, water- quality, and sedimentation characteristics; (2) information about ground-water availability, movement, and quality, before, during and after mining; and (3) a hydrologic reconnaissance of all major lakes and impoundments within the prospec­ tive Federal coal-leasing area. Investigations which would address these and other informational needs are outlined for each forest area. A schedule is proposed for completion of these recommended investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey over a 6-year period. The application of sophisticated analytical and interpretive techniques in these studies must be preceded by the collection and preparation of adequate hydrologic data. INTRODUCTION Nationwide, the Federal Government owns the rights to the coal under millions of acres of land. The Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-377) as amended, requires that new leases of these reserves be made available for production through a competitive bidding system. In June 1979, under Presidential order, the Secretary of the Interior an­ nounced a program to make Federally owned coal more readily available for competitive leasing. In the program, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is charged with the responsibility for leasing Federal coal resources to meet anticipated regional coal demands, and for ensuring that the environmental consequences of the proposed coal-production activities are identified and ade­ quately addressed. In the 31 Eastern States (those east of the Mississippi River and bordering it on the west), most of the Federally owned coal exists in small, scattered tracts, often under state or privately owned land. Planning extensive regional leasing of Federal coal in the East is a complicated procedure, entailing negotiations with numerous individual surface owners and potential lessees. Because these complica­ tions severely inhibit regional activity planning, as is done in the Western States, BLM expects that leasing by application will be the major mode of allocating Federal coal rights to the mining interests in the East. Although BLM leases Federally owned coal in other areas of the Eastern States, this report addresses the effects of coal mining on the water resources of six specific National forest areas (fig. 1). These are the areas that offer the most readily accessible Federal coal and are likely to be leased first. The six areas of study in this report are composed principally of lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service, but some also contain nearby areas of Federal coal ownership not in the National forest system. The data in table 1 show ownership of the land surface of the Federal coal estate in the East. Arrangements for leasing of Federal coal reserves existing beneath non-Federal surface will likely entail involved, lengthy planning and environmental analysis. Mineral ownership under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects (for example, flood-control

    Utilization of Detonation Cord to Pre-split Pennsylvanian Aged Sandstone and Shale, Grundy, Virginia Steven S. Spagna, L.G., Project Geologist U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District Figure 1. Upstream end of the Grundy Redevelopment Site Project Summary During Summer 2001, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers awarded a contract to the construction firm of Bush and Burchett of Allen, Kentucky, for the purpose of developing a 13 acre redevelopment site by removing approximately 2.5 million cubic yards of rock (fig. 1). The Redevelopment Site will be the future home for a large portion of the City of Grundy, Virginia. Additional work items include the construction and relocation of 3,000 feet of the Norfolk Southern railroad bed, the placement of 95,000 cubic yards of fill and the placement of 16,000 cubic yards of stone slope protection along the Levisa Fork River. Bush and Burchett received a notice to proceed with construction in July 2001. Currently, the contract is near completion. Current activities include: hauling of material from the Redevelopment Site to the disposal area; placing fill material on the Redevelopment Site, and placing Stone Slope Protection (SSP) along the Levisa Fork river. Approximately one year into the construction highly weathered rock, degraded to near soil-like condition, was encountered in the upstream portion of the excavation. Over one-third of the original cutslope was adjusted and the blasting specifications had to be amended to provide solutions for the material that was encountered in this area. Grundy, Virginia Figure 2. Project Location Map Authorization of Project Located along the banks of the Levisa Fork River, below the 100-year flood elevation, the town of Grundy has been plagued with flooding for years.

  • A Brief Study of the Levisa Fork and Russell Fork Of
    A BRIEF STUDY OF THE LEVISA FORK AND RUSSELL FORK OF THE BIG SANDY RIVER by James B. Kirkwood INTRODUCTION The Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River arises in Buchanan County', Virginia, and flows northwestward through Pike County, Floyd County, Johnson County and into Lawrence County, Kentucky, where the direction of flow becomes northward. The confluence of the Levisa Fork and Tug Fork at Louisa, Kentucky, forms the Big Sandy River which flows into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Kentucky. The Big Sandy River drains parts of Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. The basin covers an area of 4,281 square miles, of which 2,280 square miles are in Kentucky. Levisa Fork was chosen for study because of its importance as a fishing stream. Numerous centers of population are located along this stream. Accord- ing to the 1952 edition of the Rand McNally Reference Map, populations of the major centers were; Paintsville in Johnson County with a population of 4309, Prestonsburg in Floyd County with 3585 population, Pikeville in Pike County with 5154 population, and Elkhorn City, located on Russell Fork in Pike County, with 1349 population. The major tributaries of the Levisa Fork are: Paint Creek arising in Morgan and Magof fin Counties, Kentucky and entering Levisa Fork at Paintsville; John's Creek, on which Dewey Lake was formed, arises in Pike County and enters Levisa Fork near Prestonsburg; Beaver Creek begins in Knott County, Kentucky and enters Levisa Fork near Martin, Kentucky; Mud Creek is located entirely in Floyd County; Shelby Creek is located in Pike County; Russell Fork, which is reported on in this study, starts in Virginia and flows northwestward to its confluence with Levisa Fork at Millard, Kentucky.
