Over forty leading researchers and community development leaders participated in the two-and-a-half day workshop. Workshop discussionswere organized around ten commissionedpapers, commentators' remarks, and a. luncheon address. The papers covered broad issues of rural development, resource ownership and use, and the incidence of poverty and its relationship to natural resources including six case studies focusingon specific resources in various geographic settings. The workshop papers and the comments on them are available ina six-part series as follows: An overview paper summarizing the key topics and issues discussed will be available in the spring of 1984.

Coal Mine Water Pollution: an Acid Problem With Murky Solutions By J. T. BEGLEY* and JOHN PHILIP WILLIAMS** I. INTRODUCTION Since 1973 the American public has been bombarded by news of the "energy crisis" and the need for "national energy independence." This public awareness of energy needs has spurred the creation of a new federal agency, the Federal En- ergy Administration (FEA), which has initiated "Project Inde- pendence," a national program designed to achieve energy in- dependence for the United States in the 1980's.1 In speeches throughout the country, FEA officials have declared that to achieve this goal our country must double its annual coal pro- duction.

  • Title:Kentucky Coal, Reclamation And
    Kentucky Coal, Reclamation and Subsidence Title: Kentucky Coal, Reclamation and Subsidence Level: Secondary Day/Time: One class period or Homework assignment KERA Goals:1.2, 5.3, 6.3 Background Information: Every day, Kentuckians benefit from one of the coal industry’s most notable, environmentally significant achievements – the successful reclamation of mined lands. And chances are, they do not even know it. That is because most of the reclamation achieved by the coal industry is "invisible." Reclamation means returning the land to its original condition or other productive use. Unless there is a sign or other form of identification nearby, it is difficult to tell that a reclaimed site was once an active coal mine. Careful mining of our land benefits people in two ways: as a source of plentiful and reasonably priced coal and as reclaimed, productive, attractive and useful areas. Whether turned into a state park, a housing development, wildlife preserves or simply returned to productive farmland, reclaimed sites represent the coal industry’s commitment to a sound environment. Even though coal production has increased substantially over the past decade, the impact of this activity on the environment has been minimal. In Kentucky, coal is mined by one of two methods– surface mining or underground mining. Surface mining is the extraction of coal by first removing the soil, rock and other materials lying above the natural deposits. Underground mining is the extraction of coal by underground excavation of the coal deposits. For underground mining, special effort is devoted to constructing the mine and the mining plan in such a way that undesirable surface effect are minimized.

NUCLEAR ENERGY: KENTUCKY'S NEW COAL? Katie Haagen* INTRODUCTION Nationally, Kentucky is known as "The Bluegrass State"; for many Kentuckians, however, it is known as Coal Country. Despite the fact that the rest of the economy continues to grow, the coal industry is fading.' Coal production in Kentucky is at its lowest since 1939.2 Residents of both Eastern and Western Kentucky are searching for jobs and even returning to school after being laid off from their jobs at coal mines.3 While the industry rapidly declines, many wonder where Kentucky will turn when coal is gone for good. One of the most promising alternatives to coal in Kentucky is nuclear energy.
