Abstract
Several strip mine spoils have been examined in an investigation of their physical characteristics. The spoils were core drilled and each hole was logged using a nuclear geophysical method to obtain bulk data. The holes were drilled in spoils representing a variety of overburden removal methods, spoil ages, spoil depths, and area lithology. The relationship between bulk spoil density and mining method, spoil age, spoil depth, particle size, and lithotype is presented. This work was carried out as part of a study of toxic spoil encapsulation for coal mine drainage control.
