Iowa Coal Project explores strip mining and restoration methods
The Iowa Coal Research Project at Iowa State University aims to develop economical strip mining and land restoration for Iowa coal. Demonstration Mine No. 1 near Pella uses the block cut method with overburden separation, sediment control, and terraces. The project, backed by a 3-year, $3 million appropriation, involves 75 researchers and multiple task forces to study mining, environmental impact, coal cleaning, and land recovery for agriculture and power generation.
